I was in a huge hurry when I stopped at Whole Foods the other day to buy two ingredients I needed to make a dessert for dinner at a friend’s that night.  I chose a checkout line with one person who was almost finished. 

Turns out, she didn’t have enough money to pay for her groceries, and she started unloading things from her bag to “unbuy”.  The cashier didn’t know how to do that. The first person he called for help couldn’t help and went to find someone else. 

At that point, I chose another line. I was irritated, especially since I was on a tight schedule.  But then I thought about how sad it was that she couldn’t afford to buy everything in her basket.  I, on the other hand, just whip out my credit card.

Another reason to be grateful.
