When I worked at Starbucks, there was a particular elderly lady who came through the drive thru who the other workers had no patience for, but I really enjoyed talking with. I told her about my kids, and she told me stories about back in the day. I had been talking with her whenever she came through the drive thru for a few months, when one day, a little bit before Christmas, she came through, and I chatted with her like usual. She then handed me something and said this is to ensure your kids have a merry Christmas. I said thank you so much! and I put what she had gave me in the pocket of my apron. Later, when my shift was over, I pulled her gift out of the apron pocket and looked at it. It was three 100 dollar bills. I was stunned. That was the last day she ever came through the drive thru. I never saw her again. I don’t know what happened to her. She helped me to believe in the goodness of people.
