You Can’t Stop The Music, Or The Kindness

I work in a small, locally-owned candle store. There’s a semi-famous musician who likes to frequent our shop when he’s in town.

I’m helping a customer who is shopping with her three small children, including a baby. While she is grabbing one more thing, the musician calls me over and gives me two $100 bills to pay for the other customer’s items.

When it comes time for the customer to pay, I explain the situation. Her purchases come out to below $100, and she tries to give the musician the change. He refuses, telling her to keep it. She tears up with gratitude and thanks him profusely.
