Faith Renewed In The Drive-Thru

(A customer comes in, and once she makes it clear that she doesn’t want to order anything, I’m expecting a complaint.)

Customer: “I know this is going to sound strange, but just hear me out. I went through the drive-thru this morning and they put a burrito in my bag that I didn’t pay for. I would like to pay for that now.”

Me: “You… came back here to pay for something that you got, but didn’t order?”

Customer: “Yes!” *beams*

Me: *flustered and a little confused, I ring up the burrito* “That will be $1.06.”

(The customer hands me the money happily and goes on her way. For me, this was an incredible show of honesty. Lady, wherever you are, thank you for restoring my faith in humanity.)
