When I got up to the front the cashier rang up my meal and said, &#8220;$7.00&#8221;.  I handed her a $10 and almost didn&#8217;t catch when she said, &#8220;out of $20&#8221;.  She was moving pretty fast and I saw her put the $10 in the cash register in the $20 slot, then grabbed a $10 and 3 ones, which she started to hand to me.  I stopped her, told her that I&#8217;d given her a $10.  She looked puzzled and I asked her to open the cash drawer again.  I pointed to the $20 slot and indicated the $10 she&#8217;d put there by mistake.  Realizing her mistake made her a little flustered &#8211; so I helped out and told her that she owned me 3 dollars back.  She thanked me, handed me my change, and I went on my way. <\/p>\n<p>I guess I&#8217;m used to certain rhythem to a transaction for a meal and it took me a few seconds to catch the error.  If I hadn&#8217;t, she would have been off by the cost of my meal, and I would have gotten my lunch for $-3 dollars.   <\/p>\n<p>The sushi was pretty good, the rice wasn&#8217;t that great, and the pepsi was pretty much the same as any other pespi I&#8217;d had &#8211; i.e. not as good as a coke.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s my good deed for the day &#8211; quick thinking and a little honesty.<\/p>\n<p>Back to work&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-111349867032919171?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did a good thing this afternoon while I was getting my lunch.
