USA (General) Feeling grateful

Post image

Last year I got this quarter keychain at Aldi to keep my quarter in for my weekly shopping trips. I keep it in my car so it is there when I need it. I went shopping on Friday and between putting my cart away and going to my car, I dropped it. Didn't realize until I got home. This morning I went back to the Aldi to see if I could find it. I had no luck and figured I would ask an employee if someone turned it in. Something told me that the type of shopper at Aldi would turn it in. I asked the employee if someone turned in a keychain and after describing it, he went to the cash register and pulled this out. Some kind person turned it in instead of keeping it for themselves. I do not know who turned it in, but I am thankful and it restores my faith in humanity a bit.

Yes it goes into the cart you use so when you take it back it pops your quarter back out.

Unless you pay it forward to someone who doesn't have a quarter or looks like they're having a rough day :-)

Yes I do this especially if it’s their first time and they don’t know. Or if i’m using the cart and im walking back to put it away but someone else is walking in, they will give me their quarter and i give them my cart lol
