How being honest can be rewarded with kindness

Yesterday we went to the beach. Unfortunately, the only car park (there was nothing else for a considerable distance, this beach being on a reserve) only took cash and not card. We thought we might have some cash in one of our bags in the trunk, so the lady gave us a ticket and said to come back once we'd found the cash.

However, upon searching through our bags, we found we had no cash after all. We made to leave and I took the ticket back to the lady and explained. She said, "oh well, you had the intent to pay. In that case, the parking is on me today!"

The cost of the parking was not inconsiderable so we were delighted and, after thanking her profusely, had a fantastic day!

Honesty rewarded with kindness. Good to see 😊

That is wonderful..that can really reaffirm there IS goodness out there.
I once was being discharged in the early morning from an overnight stay at the hospital. I had come by ambulance so didn't have my wallet..had to call a cab home. Once I got home I told him 'Let me get my wallet and I'll be right out for the fare.'
He said 'No no it's ok '

I replied..no it's right inside!and I owe you a tip!
He said again ' No really it's ok ...it's ok ...no problem.'
That was such a kind gesture especially right out of the hospital. There are good folks out there😊
