Unexpected Honesty

After work yesterday I did a quick trip into town to buy supplies - my son's Entrepreneur's Day is tomorrow, which means he had to obtain a trading licence for a table, and now has to sell things. Apparently the school starts developing a love of money and ability to make a quick buck in the kids from year 2... But that's besides the point of this post.

Well, what with buying everything needed and handing over a single large note, there was some confusion at the till once I added a charitable donation for an elastic arm band (still not sure what I supported...). The change had to be worked out "in the head", and was handed to me amid confusion. I didn't even check it.

Just as I was climbing into my car, the till lady came running out after me. She had short-changed me by a few small bucks, and wanted to make sure she gave me the correct cash!

I was suprised, pleasantly, to find such honesty in a low-paid till worker. It's not every day you come across it!

Today I'm writing a letter to the Pick 'n Pay management of the Somerset West branch, commending the actions of Britgette Zas. Good on ya, girl!
