I'd be interested in how you paid for the coffee and gas without the wallet, but I won't ask!

Great story and a constant reminder about how our own prejudices make judgements without any facts.

RE: Scooter Trash
Great story!
Sounds like the same profile as the guy that helped me out at a mini-mart somewhere in Va on our way back from NC this week. It was raining and I had overpants on. I had a 20 and the stuff I had rang up to $19.08. I started to dig under the layers for a dime when the scary guy in front of me who had just paid for gas noticed and put a dime on the counter for me. His face lit up with a smile when I thanked him.

Good to hear a story like this. Thanks for sharing. I know there are more good guys out there than bad guys, but the bad guys get all the publicity.
