Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Free Money At Walmart


--by wasabe13, posted Oct 19, 2012

I hand-designed some of my own Smile cards. One is for "hiding" money in unexpected places. It basically says I hope that this will be found by someone who really needs it. 

So, I went to a local Walmart here in Hawaii and placed a $20 bill with the card behind a product. I then went to another aisle to see who found it. I so wanted to see how they reacted! 
 
After a while a lady found the money and the note. Then she looked around to see if she could identify who left it. To my surprise she put it back! I guess she really didn't need it. She then went to another aisle to watch who would find the money!
 
After about another seven minutes a lady with a young boy found the money. They too started looking around and even at the ceiling! I guess they were looking for hidden cameras! 
 
Again the money was put back. 
 
I was now watching them and the first lady's reaction! They too walked down an aisle to wait and watch. The problem was that they stood next to me, so I left. 
 
I never saw who eventually needed the money but I did get to witness just how amazing some people are!
