Buying the Frosty at Wendy’s

At Wendy’s after a beach visit to buy a Frosty. The man didn’t have change and didn’t want to break a bill. My change was in the car. So he’s holding two $1.00 bills while asking the kid behind the counter the price (including tax) for the small and for the medium Frosty. The kid seems concerned for us buying only one and says “they’ve got cameras in here, otherwise I’d just give it to you.” Then he sees the man pull a $10 and a $5 bill out of his pocket and says, “look, you’ve got money!” and we laughed since when we said we didn’t have change, we meant we didn’t have coins and didn’t want to break bigger bills, not that we didn’t have money — and we only wanted one Frosty because I didn’t want one! How sweet of him to be concerned for us though — to him, we were two senior citizens angsting over a $2.11 purchase. How kind and compassionate that was!
