PAY IT FORWARD.... New twist.
I've written a blog a few weeks back where I went to Aldi's Supermarket, and instead of returning the cart and getting my .25 cents back, I just gave it to a person coming out of their car.
This past Wednesday, I was at the store again, and when was putting the groceries in my car, a vehicle pulled up in the handicap parking space. When they were getting out, I yelled that "you can have this cart when I am done". They thought that was great and just took it. Never even offered the .25 cents. Not that it mattered, I was going to give it to them anyway, I just found that rude.
Today, I needed a few more things, and went back to Aldi's. When I was coming out of my car, a woman wanted to know if I'd like her cart. She said that someone the other day just gave her their cart. and only asked if I would do the same in return.
Wouldn't that be a hoot if it was one of the people I gave the carriage too?
Now for the "twist"... I live in a condo complex and I went to throw out my garbage today. Sitting on top of one of the bags of trash, were two quarters. The exact amount for the two carts I gave away. There is that saying... what goes around comes around. This is a perfect example of it.
