Well, this has A different spin on it, so it doesn't upset some of you naysayers lately......... 
On my way in this morning, I stopped by the BJ's store near our shop and picked up some paper items and some power bars. I thought I had enough money on me..... in my pocket. I got up to the register and the girl [who I won't mention if she had a beard, white, black or lesbian to remain non-prejudiced] told me the amount and I was 68¢ short, so I said, I'll take one of the items away, go back out to my vehicle and get the extra money for the rest of it.
She looked at me and said, don't worry about it. I'll cover you. I said I'll be right back in with the 68¢. She then said.... you'll do no such thing. You just go on and enjoy your day sir.
I know they usually let you slide for a few pennies, but 68 pennies ?? Random acts of kindness are scarce enough, but when it happens to you, you just feel great the rest of the day. I won't forget that one for quite awhile.
Has nothing to do with it being BJ's, Sam's Club, Costco or any other of the cheapie stores, it was just so nice to hear her say, not to bother. It saved me running back out to the truck in the rain and back in and well, I'll just have to remember to put more in my pocket than I think I'll need.
