I currently work as a greeter at Walmart. I know for a fact that I will most likely be fired if my superiors see this so I will not be stating my location.I have been an employee for nearly 5 years now. And I honestly can say I will not regret my past actions now or ever. There is a homeless woman who comes in every day. Shes a really nice lady. Honest and kind. I would say she is in her late 50s and the weather has taken a toll on her. Now I see her every day and she buys A bottle of wine sometimes two if she has enough cash. I have become good friends with her due to the amount of times we have had conversations. <br><br>One day my manager got onto me for letting a homeless guy walk in without paying. I honestly did not care I knew he was right but he was just a guy down on his luck. he deserved a break and so I let him leave without paying. My manager held me behind after my shift. We had words and I was sent home for the night. I thought I was going to be fired. It made me depressed not for the fact I got in trouble but the fact I could not help a guy in need. The next day I saw the homeless woman i was talking about at the beginning of this post again. She had 8 out of 10 dollars needed for the wine. I knew she didn’t have enough but I also know she needed it. Do I remind her she doesn’t have enough or do I hand her the wine and let her go. I gave her the wine took her 2 dollars she had left and put them in the register and told her to have a great day. <br><br>I felt Like I just gave her a hug. I licenced to do so I have been doing this for other people for years. With no consequences. Giving people who are down on their luck a one time break. Veterinary clinic put a 80 dollar price tag on my puppy and I only had 60. I asked if I could get 20 off or something because I didn't have anymore than 60 because I spent my last bit of money on gas and food for him so they said sure 60 dollars. I like to pay it forward. I've done stuff like this since I was 15 and got my first job. I will continue to do this with no regrets and I will never forgot the smile on that womans face that day.<br><br>Edit: pretty much just got called out for lying so im going to just come clean, I don't work at Walmart and I'm not some virtuous man giving out free alcohol to homeless people. I'm just some dude who loves making up stories. I've posted multiple confessions within the last couple of weeks and I've received really positive feedback so I just kept going but now I feel like I might be in trouble. I really don't know what to do and I can't stop laughing at how dumb it is.
