This Story Has Ups And Downs But A Happy Ending

I am working at the gift shop at a ride known for its intensity. One of our less popular items is a stuffed bear mascot. A tall, intimidating-looking man walks in and begins to stare at the bear display before sighing loudly and grabbing a bear and an outfit for the bear and taking it to the register.

Me: “Will that be all, sir?”

Guest: *nods* “Yeah…”

Me: “Who’s the lucky kid getting this bear?”

Guest: “My daughter. It was part of a dare to get her to go on [intense ride] by herself.”

Right as he says this, a nauseated-looking teenage girl stumbles out of the ride exit and up to the tall man.

Guest’s Daughter: “I did it, Dad. Can I have a [Bear Mascot] now?”

Guest: “Yep. A deal’s a deal.”

He gives her the bear, and her eyes instantly light up, and she smiles like a kid on Christmas morning.

Guest’s Daughter: *squeals* “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

The man laughed and left with his daughter, who was holding her new bear close. It made my day!
