So sad about the young man at work. Damn.
I have a few older folks that come looking for me now because I am patient with them. I was always on 'guard duty' with my Mom when I would take her shopping. If anyone was impatient or rude to her, I let them have it! There's no excuse to be unkind to the elderly!

So sad about the young man. I have been keeping him in my thoughts and prayers and hope his family will be alright.
I always liked the "old folks" and now I are one! Life is good.

Geez, that's terrible about that young cashier. I'll keep his family in my thoughts. We went to Friendly's with my visiting friend last week, and I handed the woman $20 for my $9 bill. She asked me if I wanted a ten or a five and five ones. I told her five ones. She then handed me a ten and five ones. I returned the ten and told her she needs to give me a five, and she was totally confused. And then she was amazed I was so honest. I dunno; it just wouldn't sit right with me to take that extra $5 from her.

How sad for the cashier, and how awful for his family. I am the mother of an almost 19 year old and my mind just doesn't even want to go there.
You're wise about the $50 opportunities. They would catch you and they would fire you, eventually. Not worth it. I figure when I finally break down and start stealing, there better be eight figures involved! (and you all realize I'm just kidding here, right?)

How awful that young man died. So awful for his family too I'm sure. Glad to hear Home Depot is setting up a fund for his family. Great to hear.
Your picture looks nothing like what I saw out my windows today. We had a "Snow Squall" (canadian word for blizzard) and I literally couldn't see anything but the outline of the building across the courtyard. More on the way too! Wanna come visit?? Come on, admit it! You MISS the snow!

I can't imagine the amount of grief over the loss of a child to their parent. Makes me want to hold mine even closer. Even tho mine are 25 & 26 years old. I asked my husband if sales were OFF at work because of the economy and he told me not at all. I guess people are still fixing up their homes. "Little Old Man Day?" (hehehehe)

I had hoped the young man would recover - but maybe his life would not have been the same anyway with all the problems he went through. Very nice that HD is matching funds, though.
I often have returned money to cashiers when they gave me too much. I just feel like Karma will get me if I am not honest that way.
And I have my favorite cashiers at a few stores that I always look for when I am ready to check out....and some that I try to avoid too!
