O.K. that makes NO sense. Isn't s/he going to be in more trouble when their drawer comes up short? Seems like they should take it and put it aside and put it back in the drawer the next time they open it. Oh well. we do what we can. . . .

Honest people like yourself are a rarity; especially with the Holiday Season. Most others would have plopped that sucker up on Ebay or took the refund. I hope will be rewarded ten times over for your kindness. All the best for a Happy, Healthy, Safe Holiday Season.

This doesn't exactly apply to the subject, but I am one of those people that when someone does something nice for you I have to do something for them. I just got my first debit card and one day (after apply for some extra security) my card got denied at starbucks with a long line behind me. I never have been that embarrassed before, but the girl behind the counter was there for me. She pretended that the card went through and gave me my coffee for no charge. I had to come back right after going to the bank. I paid for my latte with a twenty and I let her keep the rest for tip.
Another thing...the self checkout counters at the grocery store, I keep finding money in the charge dispenser, both coin and bill. As always I have to run after the person who left it behind. luckily i live right across the street from the grocery store this keeps happening at (my bro works there too) so the lady at the self checkout usually watches my items for me as I run out. Does anyone else keep having that issue at the self checkout, I mean the whole thing about finding people's forgotten change in there.

I've never noticed abandoned change there at our grocery stores.

This has been a heartening thread. Good on 'ya Fox's Tio!
I also think that there are many more people out there who try to do the right thing. Not all are older folks, witness Vegas Asian.
Civility and a basic sense of honesty are some of the things that make a society function. The "anyway to make a buck is OK" and "I'm for me and screw anyone else" training many younger people seem to experience today can be discouraging. I try to think of all the volunteer work and selfless military service being done by young people when I get discouraged.
Some one earlier posted "...stupid honest". I hope that was meant to be funny because honesty is not stupid, greed and theft is.

Yes, that was meant to be a funny. Sorry I forgot my  . Do you think that if I truly thought it was stupid, I would bother to do the honest thing myself? You have taken it out of context. |

You might have but it doesn't seen like Cush did. My response was to his post. Thanks. I thought it was obvious but maybe not. |

Sebat! Sebat! No, No, No! I did not think you really thought that honesty was stupid. I apologize profoundly (cush bowing toward sebat's avatar) I guess I thought someone else might think so but why I bothered to post as I did is a mystery. My Obiwan Kanobi personality (instruct the young Jedis, Obiwan), I guess. You, of course, are perfectly able speak for yourself if someone misunderstood. My only excuse is that I'm overly sensitive to what's posted here lately, for reasons we won't go into. Again, pax. |

And my Obiwan Kanobi personality, I guess. Again, pax. No worries. I don't tend to take things too personally. Learned that from some other boards I've been on. Just because you or I know what we were trying to say when we typed it, doesn't mean that everyone else does. Did that make sense? I'm not upset, just thought it was time for clarification. Apology accepted, although it wasn't necessary. |
