50 Cents And We Were Both Happy

--by AURELIA, posted Sep 6, 2009

Just a little thing...but it felt good.

I was in line at the grocery store and putting my items up on the belt to be checked out. The lady in front of me was waiting to pay the cashier. She noticed that I had bought some yoghurt she had heard about, but kept forgetting to try. She asked me if it was good. I said, "YES it's really delicious."

I offered her to take one. She said, "I've just finished shopping and paying right now." I told her to let the cashier scan it to my order and to just take it. She said, "Are you sure?" "ABSOLUTELY SURE," I said with a SMILE. You would have thought I was giving her a lot of money the way she was so grateful. So 50cents is what it cost me, but we both were happy -- me to GIVE and she was happy that I gave her a chance to try it for free :)
