Kindness is not always rewarded in the way we anticipate.
In a world where acts of kindness are often celebrated and encouraged, there are times when extending a helping hand doesn’t always result in the expected positive outcomes. We are reminded that despite our best intentions, the complexities of human interactions can sometimes lead to unexpected and even unfavorable consequences.
One such incident happened with a compassionate cashier who encountered a customer whose 3 cards were declined while attempting to purchase gas. Driven by empathy, OP decides to lend the customer $20 to ensure he can fill his tank. However, instead of gratitude, the customer returns after pumping only $5 of gas, demanding change from the cashier. A situation that started with a genuine act of goodwill now turns into a conflict of expectations, leaving both parties frustrated. Scroll down to know what happened next.
OP had a customer whose cards were declined, so he kindly lent him $20 for gas, but the customer only used $5 and returned demanding change.
OP refused to provide change to a customer who requested it after only pumping $5 despite OP’s earlier offer of $20 for gas.
The customer wanted to speak to OP’s manager but OP informed him that the manager’s availability was limited to Monday through Friday from 5 am to 8 pm.
The customer wanted the manager’s number and OP explained to him that he couldn’t provide the manager’s personal phone number as the company didn’t provide work phones, which prompted the customer to angrily demand the corporate number:
After two hours, the police arrived at OP’s location due to a report about a cashier refusing to return customers’ change:
The officer requested to review the surveillance tapes. After reviewing the tapes, the officer apologized to the manager and left. The manager instructed OP to ban the individual from the store if he returned.
In a world where kindness exists alongside those with malicious intentions, it becomes hard to discern who truly needs help and who may exploit acts of kindness. Despite the presence of genuinely compassionate individuals, there are those who seek to take advantage of others’ benevolence. Scroll down to read the comments on this post.
After getting the corporate number, the customer left.
“No deed goes unpunished”
Police should have charged the customer with a false police report:
People who can’t believe the customers like this exist should start working in retail:
The lady who told this employee that she would kill herself if she didn’t get good shoes:
People like these are a reason why we don’t trust the people who actually need help:
OP helped a lady 2 years ago and she thanked him with a letter and $50.
