Letters to the Editor
As good as his word!
The other day a middle-aged gentleman showed up at the gas station where I work. He came to me and asked if I could let him buy gasoline for his car. He gave me his credit card information which he did not have with him, neither did he have any cash to pay for the gas. I replied I need to ask my boss. My boss told me that we can not sell anything with the credit card information as that could be stolen information. I came back and declined to sell gasoline. Being denied, he asked me if I could help him with five dollars worth of gasoline to go home, which he would return back to me the following day eight times more.I had only five dollars in my wallet. I let him buy the gasoline telling myself that I was helping a person in dire need. My co-workers were telling me that he was never going to come back.Interestingly, the following day he arrived and laid two twenty dollar notes on the counter in front of me. And not only that, he also brought a packet of cookies for me. He rushed back saying, "I told you I was gonna come back."
