I walked in to Dollar General this evening and there was a young man was 2 people in front of me. The line had kind of stalled and I noticed him rubbing his card. He said he would be right back and took off out the store. He had diapers, an electric heater, and a 2L of mug rootbeer, $36ish.
When he came back in the cashier told him he was good and it was taken care of. Then a gentleman behind me asked him... son, is there any thing else you need to get you by. He said no sir, no sir... I get paid tomorrow and kept saying thank you... thank you. It literally made me start tearing up. He took off out the store running.
The cashier said he lived a couple houses behind the store and had just a started working there a week or so ago. They were hoping his direct deposit would hit today but it probably won't be until tomorrow.
Last week I was gryping at my family because my deep freeze was full and they hadn't taken some of the meat. I wanted room so I could fit a deer head if I had to.
It's easy to kind of get insulated in your own world some times.
