Went to a really small scale local butcher shop today.
Bought few small items at the butcher,little bit of this-little bit of that. I do not know the quality of their products(first time there-they were recommended by a coworker ).The butcher is "really"small scale place.
At the end ,i had 19 $ worth of meat ,and some candies.
Cashier lady would not accept credit card-The store is cash only(which i did not know).
They had a bank MC on site-but my bank card is scratched ,waiting for a new one to arrive via mail .Tried to no avail to use it(i kind of knew,it will not work-but hoped for the best)
I turned back to the cashier lady-and asked her to put my stuff away.Will be back in 10-15 min(time needed for visiting the closest TD bank for some cash).
A total stranger-a nice lady said:no worries,i pay for this!!!
I was like-no need,i will be back.
She insists.I say-no need !This is 20 $.No need!!! I will be back with the money.
She insists:
I offer her 5 $ (the cash i had on me) as to try at least to decrease her "kindness"amount.
She insists to pay the whole amount.Gives my 5 $ squarely back to me.
And she say:this is Ok,one day it will come back to me( her) also............the cashier seconds:she is working at Costco too,and this is a regular occurrence there as well.
The lady pays-the lady say :You have a wonderful weekend.
A thank her ,wish her the same-and feeling TOTALLY weird-walk away.
Almost-run away....it was so bizarre.:mad:
Before this event i have visited the city dump, dressed in worn out-work clothes, to drop off old paint.
I was not shaved(weekend ) ,dressed down,bough small amounts of this and that, and probably "looked" like someone can use some help:scream:.
What would you do in my place after all?
