A Sweet Start To The New Year

Holidays, Inspirational, Kind Strangers | Hopeless | January 27, 2017

It is New Year’s Eve. A customer comes into the lobby with his young son and orders food and randomly asks how many people we have working. The rather confused cashier tells him how many people we have and then he tells her that he will be right back.

Ten minutes later he comes back with his food and he and his son are carrying full-size candy bars. He and his son had bought enough candy bars that every worker could have one. He thanked us for being open on the holidays and apologized for taking so long as his son wanted to pick them out special.

Faith in humanity was restored for the six of us working that night.
