A Simple Gesture Really Made Our Day

--by kyraANDkayla, posted Apr 11, 2011

I went into the Subway restaurant with my friends Stevie and Britni after a long day at the Del Mare Fair. Stevie bought her own sandwich, and I offered to share with Britni so we didn't have to pay as much. When I got to the counter, I hadn't realized how many things my friend had ordered on her side of the sandwich, and I didn't know whether I was going to have enough because I was planning on buying for both of us.

To my pleasant surprise, the guy who was working there pulled out his credit card and offered to pay for our sandwich. The simple gesture made me smile, and I didn't know how I could thank him. In the end, I found more money and paid for it myself, but right before we left, I ran back and gave him a seven dollar tip. My friends also came back and tipped him as well.

I hope that he knows just the thought of doing something like that made my day. Thank you, and I won't ever forget it.

Those are the sort of people that draw us back to a business again and again.
