In-N-Out

[BOXX3R]

I was just at In-N-Out and apparently the Woman in front of me did not have enough to pay for what she ordered. I heard the guy taking the money ask her "Well how much Do you have" with a smile. She said something and then he said "That is OK, just give me what you can" She gave him what looked like a handfull of change.

When I got up to him I asked him if the Woman ahead of me didn't have enough to pay. He said "Yes, she was a little light". I told him I would be happy to cover the difference. My good deed for the day. Then he said "Thank you, but we already covered it, sometimes that is just what you have to do, but we DO appreciate the offer Sir".

So KUDOS to In-N-Out they restored my faith in corporate America.

Nice thought on your part. Kudos to In-N-Out if that is their regular policy.

Reminds me of a time in the local grocery when a mother with a cart of food was short a couple of bucks for the final tab, so I told the cashier to close out her tab and put the rest of the stuff on my bill. The woman seemed embarrassed but thanked me for helping out.

As she was leaving I overheard her ask the Assistant Manager why I would do that for her. The AM said, "he's just a nice guy, one of our regulars".

Made her grateful for small favors and me feel like a million dollars.

I don't think any of us loose anything by doing little acts of kindness. Sure makes me feel good when I can.

A few years ago i was i a little market in a small town Upstate NY. And in front of me was this little old lady who didn't have enough to pay the bill, So the clerk would remove some stuff to equal the amount of cash she had.. So i put a stop to that and payed what ever she was short. After that i talked to the manager and said to him would't it make for good will just to take what she had, Yes he said at one time we would do that.. But then sorry to say some people made a habit out of doing that.. !!

Quite the contrary here in Chicago. I was grocery shopping and the man in front of me had a whole cart full of stuff. When it came time to pay he couldn't get his fake welfare card to work, got mad and walked away. Leaving the entire belt full of his stuff. The cashier had to shut down the line and go put the groceries away immediately or she would have been disciplined and possibly fired. Corporate America here is a a bunch of heartless rich bastards. It's things like this that make me sick of the "big city" life.

Sometimes I wish I could do the "Green Acres" thing ...

I've also considered selling it all and getting a little bit of land in the mountains ... build a cabin ... not sure I'd survive the winters though ...
