Southern hospitality

I am responding to Thuy's post, "What will you have sweetheart?". Southern hospitality and food are definitely two things that immediately come to mind when thinking of Southern characteristics. People are often so much nicer and more friendly in the South 'just because.' This applies to random people as well as the service in the food industry. Waiters are often so nice in Southern restaurants. The service of a restaurant is a huge factor for me when determining whether or not I will go back. Being from the North, you will not always find servers that are so friendly. While some people are genuinely nice, others are just trying to be polite and friendly to get a good tip.

The video below caught my attention because it shows two boys that go around Charleston and give out compliments to people. While it may seem a little random, it made people smile and that is all that's important. You will not find people doing random acts of kindness like this in the North. Also, in certain places in the North, people would have just brushed these boys off instead of greeting them so warmly.
