CASHLESS: But gains a friend
Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 4 years, 1 month AGO
Thank you to the man who paid my grocery bill at Winco. When I tried to pay with my credit card, the checker told me, “Sorry, sir, we don’t take credit cards for groceries.” I was shocked and embarrassed.
I didn’t have enough cash or my checkbook. I was about to apologize and walk when a man came up and said, “I’ll pay for your groceries,” and did. I bagged my groceries and left.
When I got to my car, I remembered what my freshman high school (1945) teacher first said to our class, “As you become adults, you encounter three types of people.”
History tells us they’ve always been there. We have them in our world today and I’m certain they will be there in the future.
They are:
People who care
People who don’t care
People who don’t care that they don’t care
Your attitude will display which you choose to become.
Thank you again. I will pay this forward. I wish you good health and much happiness in your lifetime.
