You won't believe what I did last Thursday.
After work I was grocery shopping, it was not my normal shopping day, but if you worked Thanksgiving day, you got a one-time only 25% off voucher. They were out of BBQ Pringles, but as I was heading up front, I remembered a display by the bakery and went over there to get some. As I was returning I saw it. one of those envelopes the bank gives you when you make a withdraw. You see them everywhere, people just throw them down and they never have anything in them. But this one? I could see a little green so I carefully picked it up and put it in my pocket. I checked out with thoughts of a bacon cheese burger in my head, but when I got to my car and opened the envelope......
$340
And no identification, the bank was from so far out of town I had to look up the town's name. It was from several counties away. I know better than to turn it in at the store. They just stick it in a drawer for 30 days and then add it to profits. I can't believe how careless some people are with their money. I remember a guy last year that had a wad of money tucked in the waistband of his sweat pants. Fell out in the parking lot on a windy day, last I saw both him and his money were going south.
And the thing that gets me, I was shopping on a day I don't normally shop and would never had gone to that spot if they weren't out of an item I wanted.
Fate, Karma or Santa?
