This is another incident that I wish I was making up. I'm a magnet for these sorts of things.
I was at work this morning and thirsty. There were no cold bottled waters in the cooler so I went and got one off the shelf. I don't like warm water, so I went to the deli and got a cup and then trekked over to produce to get some ice.
Once I return to my register, I'm ready for some nice cool, refreshing water. I fill my cup, take a drink and turn my light back on and wait for customers.
Everything is going wonderfully for a while. Then out of nowhere, some guy drops a handful of change into my drink. I looked at him with blank amazement. When words finally came I said "what are you doing?" He looked confused and a little offended. I asked again "why did you do that?"
"I wanted to help out."
"Help who?" At this point the customer behind him realizes what's going on and I can tell she's doing her absolute best not to laugh.
"Help hurricane victims."
Dumbfounded I looked at him again... "That was my drink."
He then asks where the donation cups are and if I'd be so kind as to put that change in the cup. I finished his order and the customer behind him. Went back to the deli, dumped my drink, pocketed the change and started the whole process over... new cup, new ice.
Reminded me of a Sienfeld eipsode where Kramer drops some change in a bum's coffee.
All I can say is why me?
