Today was one of those times. I was about to cash a fellow out, a Staff Sgnt, for the US Army, when an old man came up, and goes, "Thank you, let me pay, I insist," and threw a $50 bill at my face. I cashed him out, but the entire affair made me all teary eyed, and I pretty much started to cry. Both shared a few war stories - the old man fought in Korea, and then the Staff Srgnt asked if I had anyone in the military in my family. Then, I got to share about my dad. Honestly, it was very touching, because you don't witness these things that often. And, we know nothing about that old man - he could be finacnially unstable - but he did that out of respect, and the goodness of his heart.
Anyway. It was an odd day - we went to the VW dealer ship today. Fucker tried to charge me 20 grand, but the website it's like, only 18, all tricked out. I shortly after decided to purchase an Elentra, instead. Hahaha. You can't pull the wool over my eyes, dammit!
