This here is a true Story , I was not the one that actually did this random act of kindness , and i dont think it was random too ... It was one of a kind !!
I was a manager at one of the busiest Fruits and vegitable stores in New York , i Worked from 6 pm till 6 am , it was open 24 Hours ..
At 11pm when business slows down a bit i am to go from register to register empty them out almost completely , I would do this every day i would empty them into regular shopping bags with a piece of reciept from that register and tie the bag , then another , and another , and so on with 9 registers , they are now in seperate bags all tied up inside 1 other bag , i used the regular bags that said thankyou please come again ...
The store was still busy belive it or not ... and one man asks me if he can pay me because he needs to get home for his kids , so i layed the bag ( with over 30k in it on the table ) Not using my brains , and started to ring him up he had maybe 5 or 6 bags and everything was okay until he left with my bag too ... I knew that i was in deep **** , i was about to kill myself , I didnt know what i would tell my boss i was 22 at the time . I just didnt know what to say started running all over the streets outside looking for this guy , We did have cameras in the store , I called my mother to explain instead she started yelling at me and screaming over the phone , i needed her help with advice as to what i should do , I rolled over the video's that were in the office and showed some employees , they all said they have never seen him before , and the quality of the cameras was very poor to really see this agian , I knew i was in big trouble here , as 6am was getting closer and my boss was going to be in soon . All of the sudden as you prolly guessed by now this man walks in holding the bag up high in his hand and says this isnt mine , I actually started to cry and was huging and kissing this guy ! I was super amazed his name was bajha ( He is Indian ) , I Could not belive he came back , he told me that i am lucky and that this was all he needed to go back to his country ( He was an immagrant like me heheheh ) ... But he also said god wouldnt let me do such a thing , I will remember this guy for the rest of my life , He continued to shop the store i would see him about 1 time every week , I told all the people that worked the registers that when he does his shopping they should call me over to ring him up , I got full permission from my boss to give him 50% discount at any given time .... I know you are prolly saying 50% ? lol , i would pay for everything but at that time , I was so broke working for like 7 bucks an hour nightshift as a manager !!!! whatever ... Just wanted to share with you
