Imgur User escreveu:A couple years ago I worked at a gas station. Not the best job in the world, but definitely eventful. I've forgotten most of the day-to-day shenanigans, but this event has stuck with me. I was working in the late afternoon on Halloween when a young girl (7 probably) comes up to the counter. She looks at the donation box at the register. "What's that?" she asks me. "This is a donation box. People give money so that little kids in the hospital can get better." She beams. "That's so cool!" she said excitedly. "I wanna help!!" She pulls a crumpled up dollar out of her pocket and stuffs it into the donation box. Enter scene: mother. Her mom shows up at the register. She loads two armloads of chips, jerky, and soda onto the counter. As I start to check out her daughter pipes up, "Mommy!! Guess what I did?" "What's that?" "I gave my dollar to kids at the hospital!" She points at the box excitedly, proud of her achievement. What her mother says next shocks me. "YOU DID WHAT!?!?!?!" Her voice makes me jump. "WHY THE FUCK (yes, really) WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING??" The little girls voice shakes as she replies, "I just wanted to help." "Don't you EVER do that again." Her mom retorts. "I gave you that dollar so you could buy a snack. What do you think I'm going to do next time? HUH? You think I'm going to give you money? So you can THROW IT AWAY?! NO. You can starve." By now I'm done checking out her items and the little girl has been reduced to tears. "Jesus. Quiet down and get out of my way so I can buy this." She pulls out her Food Stamp card to pay. As we finish the transaction, I'm dumbfounded into silence. I want to scream, but I grit my teeth instead. The mother grabs her bags and storms out, swearing under her breath. As she leaves I call out to the girl, "Hang on a sec!" She stops and looks back. "Come here." My co-worker has another job at Hershey and has brought in a ton of candy to give out to the kids. I grab a handful and give it to the girl. She's disheartened and the human being in me can't just leave things as is. I want to fight against her mom and tell her that her mom's an idiot and a hypocrite and to never listen to her, but, well, I'm working. And that's her mom. So I just say, "I thought that was very nice of you. Happy Halloween." It's funny how fast kids recover. Her face lit up again when I gave her the candy and she dashed out after her mom. My username is Natsumori and this is my own story; I don't do reposts. Yes, seriously. I'm not that desperate for imaginary internet points. ily all. TL;DR- Gave that kid a candy bar.
