I wrote about an experience at Kwik Trip in 2017 commending the 'Leave a penny/Take a penny' tray at the store.
Today is National Take a Penny/Leave a Penny day - in honor of the tradition and the act of being kind to strangers and paying it forward - here is my blog from October 20, 2017.

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 someone. 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.
