I was packaging (me)volution t-shirts one day and I needed elastic bands. I walked to the pharmacy chain on the corner. I asked a gentleman where I might find elastic bands. He took me to the hair aisle. We laughed as we realized our miscommunication. I told him I needed rubber bands. He told me that they didn’t sell any. I thanked him and started to leave the store.
Before I passed the cash registers the man ran up and tapped me on the shoulder. “How many elastic bands do you need?” he asked me. I told him I would need 25. He asked me to wait.
He returned quickly with a paper bag full of elastic bands. “I grabbed these from the back office for you. I hope you have a good day.” I looked in the bag and thanked him over and over.
As I was walking back to the office I thought about how this man had given me a bunch of elastic bands; financially worth little money. Not only that, but he ran after me in the store to help me. He didn’t have to do any of that. I could have walked 5 blocks to the mall and spent $5 but instead I walked the few short steps back to the office and started to package the t-shirts, all the while with a smile on my face.
