So with Christmas approaching ever faster, I get to thinking.
Someone told me a story today about a woman who came into my store today to return some books. This story left me in so much pain, and at the same time made me wonder about humanity.
The lady was so upset that she couldn't get her cash back (because it had been too long - store policy), that she cried.
Now, this time of year, that tears my heart up, because it makes me wonder if maybe she needed that cash to do her Christmas shopping. And I hurt for her if that was her situation.
But the growing cynic inside me (this is what happens when you work in retail), wonders if she knew the policy and just used that as a tactic to try and get the young man to just give her the money.
And that depresses me further, that I've begun to think that way...
