One day, while I was working at a fast food restaurant, this lady left her Louis Vuitton bag on the table.
I waited about 20 minutes but remembered seeing her depart,
so I grabbed it and placed it in the lost and found.
I never glanced inside.
A month passed by.
My manager asked, “Hey, it’s been a month…
do you want that bag?”
I answered yes and went into the rear to collect it.
I opened the top and was surprised to find nothing but a piece of paper
I opened the piece of paper to find a receipt for the bag.
On the receipt was a message that read, “To the girl who needed a new purse during the holidays.”
Whoever this lady was planning to do this in the first place. I looked at the receipt—$1700 for this bag!?
I carefully packed my belongings in it, took it home, and said nothing further about it.
That purse helped me seem nice in a lot of job interviews.
I still have the bag because it reminds me of those humble days when I didn’t have much and encourages me to give back to others.
