One fateful day, a customer came in and bought $240.00 worth of merchandise. He handed me two one hundred dollar bills and two twenty dollar bills. I thought i had put them in my purse.
When I went to the bank to deposit the money, I could not find it. I retraced my steps; post office, water office, pharmacy. No money. I asked the post office to go through the bottom of the letter boxes and they did. Nothing.
I had several employees go through my purse and look. Nothing.
So I figured that I could stand that loss and I should just keep on going, after all whoever had that money probably needed it more than I did.
I was on my way to some meeting when I got thirsty and stopped at a convenience store to get my all time favorite: Dr. Pepper. When I reached into my purse to get some money to pay for the Dr. Pepper, I pulled the $240.00 out. I still have no explanation, unless we put it in the category of looking straight at it and not seeing.
