Random Acts of Kindness....
I read somewhere about utilizing gift cards and distributing them as prompted. Such a good idea. On my agenda for sure.
Suggestions for tipping. It has been said that $100 tips might cause too much of a ruckus and draw too much attention to the giver for security reasons. Here's what I am going to do:
Instead of a $100 bill...if the ticket is $20 bucks or so, pay with a crisp $50. If the bill is $100 or so, tip with a crisp $50. Not too much, but a great reward for great service. Much more discrete.
One of my correspondents who lives in Hawaii emailed this wonderful story of inspiration while raising an eyebrow? Did one of YOU do this? Or someone from the RV/GCR? It would be nice to think so, and even nicer to think we can all do these random acts of giving SOON!
About a week ago, a customer came into the store where I work. I helped her with her purchase, she handed me an envelope and said, "My daughter wanted me to give you this." I noticed the envelope saidThankyou on the front of it, so I assumed it was a thank you note and didn't open it right away. The store is closing (going out of business) and a lot of people have been sharing their feelings around that.
A bit later, I did open it and found a $100 bill inside!
I put the envelope with the money in my purse.
A bit later the store manager came up to me and asked if I had received such an envelope and she took it from me while they "investigated" it.
I didn't get upset, I just told myself — and the Universe — that the money would return to me either directly or indirectly and let it go.
Yesterday, the store manager handed it back to me saying they decided it was a random act of kindness and those who received them were entitled to them!
