Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Turning Concern into Kindness


--by Jolie, posted Jul 20, 2010

I was at my local grocery store, and I had just put my items on the conveyor belt to be scanned, I decided to start up a conversation with the cashier. 

Most of the time, I won't initate a conversation because I don't want the person to be distracted and overcharge me.  Well, I let that fear go and decided I would show interest. 

The cashier was a woman and being a woman myself it was easy to find something to talk about.  She was wearing the most beautiful ring.  I commented on it,  and she told me all about it, who gave it to her.  I found out she was from Nevada.  She had a lot to say about Las Vegas.  I told her, I don't know if I would want to live in a place called Sin City.  

So far,  I haven't checked the reciept yet, because the point was to set my concerns aside for once and give a dollop of kindness to somebody. :)
