Thursday

a generous stranger

I try to talk to customers when I can, make conversation, be friendly.
"Hello," I greeted her, "I love your skirt!"
"Well, thanks!"  She replied.
Someone else helped her make her purchase.  She left.

An hour later I was taking my turn at the register.  She walked back in, now in jeans, put a paper bag on the counter, and whispered to me, "This is for you."
Inside was the skirt.

It's one of those seriously great moments in life.

Whoa! Terrific story. Concisely told.

Being a fan of both, I salute thee.
