Never Thought I'd See This Happen

After doing some of my weekly tidying I thought that I would get some air and walk to Chipotle and get me some lunch.

I checked to make sure that I actually had money in my pocket. Luckily enough, I did.

I thought I had one more dollar then I did. And when I was going to pay it turned out that I was just under a dollar short. I asked the girl to take the drink off because I was just going to go home and eat it. Instead she just charged me for the drink. She said that the bowl would be on her.

That bowled me over. It's been some time since I've seen someone do such an act of charity. I wasn't expecting that. It totally caught me by surprise. Usually they'll just take off the extra object.

It was nice.

Now I feel like I should go there and buy two bowls or burritos or something. Because that was the kindest thing that I've had done for me by someone who was a complete stranger.

That totally bowled me over.^-^

  1. That was very sweet of the gal. When that happens to me, I like to "pay it forward".

  2. Jeannie's right - but then i'm sure you already thinking that.

    Mind you - was this charity entirely or do you think she maybe liked the cut of your jib old chap?

  3. John-

    I'm not sure... It might be because I was probably the only person who came in who was smiling and generally pleasant to the people who were working behind the counter. I've been there, so I know how it is to have people bark orders at you and all that.

    Jeannie-

    It really was. It was more then I was expecting.^-^
