Read a story once about a pizza guy caught in a snowstorm. The family not only tipped big but invited him in to wait it out and gave him a whole thermos of soup for the road. Those random acts of kindness really stick with you. It proves a small gesture can completely change someone's whole day, maybe even their outlook on the job.

Seriously, my friend's uncle does custom glasswork for museums and it pays his whole mortgage. People see "art thing" and immediately think it's not real work, which makes my blood boil.
