MOMENTS LIKE THAT

I was in Walmart again yesterday. Sometimes, it seems that I live there. It’s just too conveniently close to the house.

Anyway, I was standing in the checkout line waiting my turn. There was a gentleman in front of me with no cart and no merchandise. Just about then, a woman and a young girl came pushing a cart and he said to them, “Here I am” and wouldn’t you know, they shoved that cart around and planted it right where he stood in line in front of me!

I didn’t get angry (for a change) but thought to myself “Well, if you’re in THAT big of a hurry, it’s fine by me!”. I’ll be nice and WAIT MY TURN even if it is back one space.

The man paid for their purchases and as they slowly got out of my way and left the store, I looked down and there on the floor in front of me was a nicely folded ten dollar bill! I said not a word but picked it up and put it in my purse. I figured it was a fair price for the space and time I had been denied.

Moments like that make me chuckle!
