What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
You go out of your way to be nice to people you wouldn't normally befriend.
There are some resources that money can't buy, and one of them is friendships. Friendships can be the difference between you and free food, you and a terrible day, and you and getting fired. Being mean for no reason other than it's convenient just hurts you.
Going out of your comfort zone is the only way you'll grow.

You remember small details about people, and they always like you more as a result.
Remember that time you were inexplicably attracted to someone who happened to remember your weird interest in fridge magnets? It was because they remembered your weird interest in fridge magnets, and you felt so flattered you were able to overlook all those weird stains on their shirt.
Bonus: Remembering details about people helps you to remember their names.
You know that sometimes you have to just smile and nod when people treat you badly. (And that doesn't mean those people are right.)
"The customer is always right," really means "The customer is always right, because they are the ones with the money, but as soon as they leave we are totally making fun of them, because who the fuck actually behaves like that in public?"
Just because you have to give in to someone's ridiculous behavior doesn't mean you should lose sight of who is in the wrong. Or worse, blame yourself for someone else's attitude problem.
You always carry a writing utensil so you can write things down.
Even if you have the best memory in the world, you never know when a shit storm is going to break out. Chaos could break out — or worse, your phone could run out of battery — and if that happens, you'll be glad to have that analog back-up.
Plus, it's a just a good idea to have a pen, as you never know when you (or someone else) will need it.
