Helping people on New Years' eve regardless they are phony

Tweet

While we were still working on Saturday night at the restaurant, a lady came in with an odd request. She told us that her cell phone doesn't work, and she borrow a phone from another business setting cross street and ask her friends come pick her up. She waited for hours, and still no one come. She is out of hope, and desperately needed some money for a cab or bus whatever, she will pay us back as soon as she came home and get her money. I suspicious about her request, because we encounter such scammer a lot in a daily basis. She might be no difference from others, except she is a lady with a desperate look on her face. The bigger chance is that she will never come back. Since it is New Year eve, everyone wants to pay it forward with a good will, my manager took out $5 and give it to her. We won't expect her to come back, but hopefully she will find a real job to do something good for her own sake.
