Even though I was at work when this happened it really has nothing to do with work- this guy wasn't even a customer of ours.
I work in one of those outdoor malls that are so popular here in Florida. In front of each store on our strip is a large bench. They are a favorite resting place for homeless people. So, I'm sitting on the bench in front of my store and one of our resident homeless guys was sitting on the bench in front of the store next door.
This guy in an expensive business suit (EBS) came out of one of the other shops and spied Homeless Guy (HG).
EBS: "Hi, my name is Bill how are you today?" *shakes hands with HG*
HG: *mumbles*
EBS: "So, what do you need?"
HG: *looks confused*
EBS: "You must need something. How are your shoes? Do you need shoes?"
HG: "My shoes are fine but I'm hungry."
EBS: "Okay, you need a meal. Are you sure your shoes are okay? Good shoes are important you don't want to get blisters or sores."
HG: "Nah... my shoes are good."
EBS tells the guy to wait there and he'll be back with a meal. Of course, EBS didn't realize that HG had been on that bench for days and wasn't going anywhere.
He was gone awhile and then brought back a large meal, cigarettes and a couple of extra bottles of soda. I also noticed later that another HG on the bench behind our store had food and soda also. I guess EBS had been busy.
It's true. There are nice people in the world.
:D
