My Lucky Day
So…I went to Dunkin’ Donuts this morning for a cup of coffee. I handed the cashier $20.02. He gave me $98.00 back! Whoohoo! A little extra cash for the holidays!!!! 🙂
JUST KIDDING!!!! You should know me better than that by now!
So I went in and said, “I believe I gave you a twenty not a hundred.” He said,”No you gave me a hundred…it’s in my drawer…want to see it?” “Yes please…I don’t know how a hundred dollar bill could have gotten in my wallet.”
He opened his drawer, turned bright red, then went pale. “Oh my God you’re right…it was a twenty.”
Poor boy…he apologized and thanked me profusely, and went on to say,”Most people wouldn’t have come back.”
It did make me wonder…is that true??? Or is that a false assumption? Would you have gone back, or would you have figured it was your lucky day?
Great story! 🙂
Yes, I would have gone back. (Well, I probably would have realized as he was handing me the change that an error had occurred and would have made him aware then). What can I say? Momma raised me well. 🙂
Actually, I’ve been in his position and would have known that at the end of the day, when they counted his drawer, they would have made HIM pay the $70.00 under difference OR worse yet, would have accused him of stealing and fired him right then and there.
You were tested today, KD, and you PASSED with flying colors! Woohoo! 😀

You know Tracy, he took forever making my change (I was at the drive thru) and I knew the wad was thick, but assumed that it was a bunch of ones and that’s why it took him so long. LOL
I started to edge away while flipping through the money, and realized right away, but not soon enough to stay at the window. Silly me…next time I will stay put. 🙂

This extra bit of information actually makes your story even MORE compelling! OBVIOUSLY, you were in the drive-thru to make your transaction easier for you and it took effort to go BACK and make things right.
Your halo is shining BRIGHTLY today, KD! Bravo!! 😀

You lucky duck, KD… hey, did you know my initials are “KD” too? I think it was a lucky moment for you. And you did good by it.

Well, my initials are a bit of a convoluted story…but that is the name I came up with way back in my early online days, and it stuck. 🙂
