A former employee called me shortly before Christmas as she has done for the last few years since she moved out of state to wish me a Merry Christmas and during the conversation I learned she had fallen at work and broke her knee. She is collecting compensation, but it's only 65% of her salary, so I sent her a check. She just called, in tears, to tell me how much she appreciated it.
Kudos to everyone for the wonderful, kind and generous things you have done. And GrammaO - I always return my shopping cart too. It's the right thing to do and only takes a minute. I can't stand when people leave them and they go flying into cars - I even had one hit me!
