Here's a similar story, also true:
Flight is delayed due to weather in major hub, and many business travelers are berating the gate agents (and a stewardess who was also behind the counter).
It was the stewardess' birthday.
Faced with a 3hr ground hold, a mellow business traveler orders an ice cream cake from the Baskin Robbins and has it delivered to the gate.
It makes the stewardess' day and also lightens the mood at the gate for the rest of the delay.
