I work in the healthcare profession as a nursing assistant. This means that when flu season arrives I have to be extra cautious at my job. Even though I use extra precauions, I know that I can never be completely germ free. This means that I will get sick during this time of year. I wanted to make a statement to everyone out there that there are still genuinely kind people out there. I got off of work on Saturday feb 2 to stop and get some medication for my son and myself from the drugstore. The young cashier rang my items up and the total came up to be $26.68. I stated to the cashier that I was short on cash and that I would need to go to my car to get some more money. He replied," ok". I left my items at the register and walked away to my car with my head hanging low. I was not feeling very well, due to being sick and also being very tired from working all night.
Shortly, I came back into the store, and began to wait patiently behind the customer in front of me. After she grabbed her items and left I moved up to the register and began to hand the cashier the full total amount of my bill. He then stated to me that all of my items had been paid for. I stepped back in disbelief, because of his statement. I replied," no way here is the money. He then explained to me again that my bill had been taken care of. Still in disbelief I said,"wow thank you". I took my bag full of medication and walked out of the pharmacy with a great big smile. I will have to say that no matter how dreary and bleek the world seems to be there are still some wonderfully genuine people out there. I would like to thank the lady who was paying for her things when I came in.
