A couple days after Christmas I stopped at the Quik-Stop Market on Heywood and Erringer. I got talking with the lovely lady who runs the store along with her husband. 

My bill came to $22 and some odd cents. I gave her what I believed to be $23 and she gave me change. We said our thank-yous and good-byes and off I went. 

About two hours later, I was going through my wallet and found, to my disbelief, I was $20 short. I went through every pocket on my person and rechecked my wallet, pulling on bills to see if they were stuck together, but no luck.

Then I decided to call the store, maybe I dropped it and some good person turned it in. When I called and told her I was there about two hours ago and what I had bought, she said “No problem, I’m going to lock the store for 10 minutes and review the video tapes.”

I felt a little better, but those tapes don’t always catch everything. I called back in 15 minutes and she told me the tapes didn’t show enough.

So she went one step further and went through her cash register drawer and found a $20 bill in the $1 bill slot. I got my $20 back.

This is not a cheesy advertisement ploy, these people do not need that. They run a clean and very honest operation. 

Had it not been for their own high family values, I feel I would have been out $20.
