Slanging Dough #3
Wednesdays are fun days......
My first run of the day I went to a pretty nice upscale complex.
I drove past a man in very short stone-washed cut-off jeans shorts washing his yellow Porsche 911. I'm not saying........ well, actually I'm just saying......
Well, I get to the condo and the gentlemen buzzes me in at the security post. I deliver the pizza, get some change for a tip, and I'm bouncing....
I look at the bill, and I see its a $100 bill. This is definitely out of the ordinary, and its very rare that we get bills larger than $50, because we can only carry $20 in change. So I think to myself, was he really trying to give me a $80 tip (it happens when people come into a whole lot of money...but it has never happened to me)
Then there is the thought of KARMA [which I don't necessarily believe in because it's Hindu, however the Biblical principle of what you sow you reap, definitely applies). Anyways, I went back to the door and informed the gentleman that he gave me a $100 bill instead of a $20 bill. DMX used to say: "If you do dirt, you get dirt!"
So I went back to the door, and the guy gave me $10. Upon returning back to the store, I realized, I had already given him $5 from the original bill. So I actually had lost about $8 from the entire delivery. NOT WINNING.
So incredible frustrated, I had a conversation with God about doing the right thing, and I KNOW you take care of your children.
About two and a half hours later, as I returned from another delivery, there was that same gentleman proceeding to exit his Cadillac.
Gentleman: Are you Quincy?
Me: Yessir, that's me.
Gentleman: Just wanted to give you this. It's not a $100 like earlier, but it's $20, and its something. I appreciate your honesty, because I had no clue I gave you a $100 bill.
Me: Hey, no problem. I appreciate the tip sir. Glad I made your day
Just take the tip, and keep it rollin!!
And my day was made too..... {awwwwww}
