So a couple of days ago I was at work at staples and a guy came into my store… he was about 80 something years old and needed help to install the printer he had bought. My coworker was going to charge him like 100$ to install that shit and I was like nah Ill do it for free(at the time he didnt know that I was going to do it for free) So I get to his house and all and work on his comp… the dude was 80 or whatever but he was tight as hell…liked football and such. So I help him and on the way back hes like I dont have cash so Im going to pay your store with credit or check and im like nah you dont need to pay anything cuz I did that work for you at no charge… and hes all like but your manager is going to make me pay… and im like fuck that your not paying anyone 100$ to install a 150$ printer… they are just trying to take advantage of your old age and all…hes like well give me your phone number and all and if I have any problems with my computer or anything I will call you and pick you up and such.. and I was like thats fine. He also asked me for my address because he was going to mail me something for my time and work… and I insisted not to take any of his money(although I knew this dude had MAD MONEY cuz of his house lol) but I didnt want to take any of his money. Right now im trying to change myself to do for others…ya know? so anyways I was like fine if you insist Ill give you my address but I really dont want any of your money… and he was like trust me you deserve it. So today I got the following letter in the mail from him. His name was Charles…and reading this letter made me feel so good about myself. He sent me a check for $50, and he told me at the end of the letter that he hopes it helps with my car fund…. so I was thinking to myself today… ya know what when I buy my car… that $50 he gave me is going to be a part of my car…im never going forget what he did for me. When I get my car its going to resemble all of the hard work I have done…and now its also going to represent the time when I helped Charles at no cost.
Dear Kris,
Thanks again for your work. You saved the day. Printer is working fine and I was able to print out the 140 pages that I needed to take on my trip. Carttidge is just beggining to show low ink, so its less than 200 pages. With your computer skills I think you can develop a thriving “moonlight” business with people like us. I will call you when I need help and will also recommend you others. Please let me know when you change address and phone numbers. I would also like to have your current email address. The manager of your store also deserves thanks for loaning you to me. Such customer service is rare nowadays but it will eventually lead to loyalty. I encourage you to continue your business education so that your natural talents and IQ can be morally rewarded. Please let me know if I can ever help you. Thanks again.
P.S- Hope the check helps torward car fund.
I actually had my grandmother read that shit to me cuz the dudes handwriting was hard as shit to read.. but when I read it after she already did.. made things alot easier..lol. Anyways I felt really good about myself today because the guy acctually took time out of his day to write me a letter. Its been such a long time since I have wrote anyone a letter..Im going to write him one back on monday. When something like this happens..the feeling is so freakin amazing. Shit like this just makes you think what if the world was as giving as SOME people want it to be. A place where everyone does for one another and doesnt have to worry about backstabbing mother fuckers or assholes. Anyways ive said what I needed to say….so im gonna end this shit with a lyric that I heard at work today like literally 100 times.
hoooooooooooooooonesty is such a lonely word
its mostly what I need in you
honnnnnesty is such a lonely word
its mostly what ive found in you! ………………………..yes YOU
