As I rush through the revolving doors of the department store, I think about the young woman who let me have her taxi. She just saved my job. One more lateness this month and I would have been fired.
The store is crowded for the Saturday sale. A customer walks by, appearing quite disheveled and lost. Her purse and its contents cascade to the floor. I notice that her wallet is hidden under a display.
"Excuse me, Miss. You dropped this," and I hand her the wallet.
She looks at me with gratitude and simply states, "Thank you so much!"
