The Dollar Value Of Kindness
Restaurant | Working
| June 6, 2014
(We are on a vacation. We are leaving a sea-themed restaurant and the exit is through a gift shop. I am getting two toy school buses. I am about 11 years old.)
Me: “Hi. I’d like to buy these buses.”
Cashier: “That’ll be [price].”
(I pull out my wallet, only to find I am a dollar short.)
Me: “Darn! I only have [dollar short of total].”
Cashier: “Oh, that’s okay. Just take them both.”
Me: “But what about the dollar?”
Cashier: “It’s fine.”
Me: “Thank you so much!”
(If you are reading this, then you made my day! And to this day, I still have the buses, and they are my favorites out of my collection of die-cast cars!)
