Paying It Forward Pays Off ... :)

Paying It Forward Pays Off ... :) My mom is like 77 and on oxygen. As her health fails more, she loses more and more weight. I took her to the thrift store today to get some pants and shirts. So, we got a cart and I took her to the section she needed. I went off on my way and looked and looked at some stuff for myself. I picked up a dress - which I luved - it wasn't priced. They have a policy. No price - no sale. Okies, I totally get it. Things get missed - we are but only human. I put it back and went out my way. I found a few things I thought my mom mite like. When I got back, I could see she had enuf. Taking the stuff we had, headed to the dressing room. A slew of stuff and we only found 2 shirts and 1 pair of pants. Of course, as Murphy's Law would have it, the pants didn't have a price tag. Oh, good fucking lordy ... She was totally drained and told me not to worry bout it. I told her to sit there and wait - that I was going to see what I could do. I went to this lady I always see - a little ornery she is. Not really a pleasant attitude. I explained to her the situation and she was like you have to see a manager. That was it - she didn't even say let me get one for you or anything. I get that you are not getting paid for this - I volunteer too. Then you shouldn't be doing it if your going to be a nasty fucking biatch. Anywho, I went over to this over younger lady I see all the time, who is always very sweet and kind. "I really need some help, please. My mom is on oxygen and we just spend like an hour looking for pants. The only pair that fits is this pair, with no price. I know your policy - I shop here enuf. In fact, I just put a dress back due to no price. Tho, this is really important. I REALLY here to leave here today with these pants." She went to the back while we waited. My thoughts were racing - my mom was like let's just forget it. I'm like no, mom, you really need these. So, we waited. Finally the girl came back. She was like 3.99? Uuumm - I didn't care how much they were. We just really needed to leave the store with this pair of pants. I was almost in tears and so very much appreciative of what she had did for us. I thanked her a few millions times. The girl today has no idea how much what she did today meant to me and my mom - how such a simple act meant so much. This is why I always pay it forward ...   In Luv, Lite, Laffter ... |

I came across the idea when I started working, long before it was known as "paying forward". I noticed that a couple of senior people would go out of their way to help me, the newbie. There was no way I could ever pay them back so I determined that I'd show others the kindness they had shown me.
