  • Some really great people at this store.

    I stopped in tonight to get a few groceries. As I wrote elsewhere on this site, I've recently lost yet another office job -- again, with no prior warnings of any problems with attendance, appearance, attitude, work, etc. Nothing. Nada.

    So I go to pay with my debit card ($16 + change) aaaand ... it's declined. I suddenly realize: it's the 15th of the month; my auto insurance has gone through! So I go to the mall where I work -- I've got $11 + change in one account and a negative balance in the other (hope I can get the money in tomorrow morning before it bounces back ... ) These bank machines have suddenly started dispensing $5 bills again (they used to, decades ago, and then they stopped).

    So I pull $10 out and find another $3 in change in my car (plus smaller coins) so I go back to get some of the groceries I'd left behind. The ones I keep total ... $13.65. I said to the cashier "Oh, take the cheese out too; I have small change in my car but ..."

    Instead ... he tossed the cheese back into the bag, and pulled out HIS debit card and paid the sixty-five cents.

    I thanked him and told him how much that meant because of my recent job loss.

    Oh, and he thinks they might be hiring too.

      Thanks, Minflick! The odd thing is, several incidents like this have happened since I returned to My Hometown. Obviously some extremely kind people out there. I really hope I can start paying it forward soon!

        I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Pixelated.

        Try the local paper too. Some of them are finally hiring again.
