Pennies

Take a penny, leave a penny.

Monday morning, the 32 ounce Big Buddy of Tea came to $1.04.  I had no change.  At all.

Julie, on the other side of the register, looked at the two singles in my hand and said, "That's OK." Then picked 4 coins out of the overturned cup lid.

It was very nice.  It was also nice not to receive 96 cents of change back on my purchase.

Leave a penny, two, or three behind from your change and it will help somebone.  It might be a kid 3 cents short of buying a candy bar or a harried businesswoman with a hot cup of coffee in one hand and a $20 in the other.

You and I can't fix the world a few pennies at a time, but you might make somebody's day better.

Someone out there sure made mine.

Thank you. Penny.
