No Evil Deed Goes Unrewarded

The Horse wrote about the negative response to a good deed and I commented, mentioning the obverse. This is a true story. I stopped at the gas station in Harbour View to get gas and smokeums. I got the gas, walked into the shop there to pay for the gas and buy cigarettes. There were other people in there, all getting frustrated. Why? The Cashier was on the phone with her boyfriend. There was one big drama going on with her, and the customers were ignored, got fed up and walked out. I was standing there and saw a newbie and asked if I could see that pack of cigarettes and she handed it to me. I then told the newbie..."I don't want to bother the Cashier, I'll pay later..." and walked out. I got on the bike and road home... free gas, free ciggies. Two days later I went back to the gas station expecting to be scolded. As I walked in, ready to explain, apologise, whatever, the cashier looked at me with this huge smile on her face and said; "They told me what you said, I really appreciate it." So I'm feeling wierd and glance and see a Teddy Bear and say something about it, and the cashier comes from around the counter, goes over to the stack of bread, goes through them, and says: "Buy this bread, there's a ticket in it for a free teddy bear." So I buy the bread, take the Teddy Bear and go out and ride off.
