Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Gladly Pay The Change Forward


--by ms_joy, posted Aug 6, 2017
At Dollar Tree, I mistakenly left behind my reusable bag so I bought one (choosing to reuse the biodegradable bag for recyclables). I left a couple of pennies for the next person that needs a 5 cent bag.

As I did this, I asked "Rena", the cashier, if she started this and she said she did, along with some earlier customers. She kept sharing the word with the next person that needed a bag and the thoughtfulness train continues.
