No great revelation here, just an observation that good things still happen in the world.

People in the checkout line at the Bainbridge Safeway were witnesses to a random act of honesty a few moments ago.

In the self-checkout line, a fortysomething fellow buying two bags of chips and a bottle of juice found the previous customer had left the change from his purchase behind.

Without skipping a beat, the chips man scooped up the $7 and grabbed the attention of the nearest cashier, and handed over the bills with a quick explanation they’d been left behind by the shopper before him.

“Thank you for your honesty!” the cashier said.

A few minutes later, the previous shopper — receipt waving in his hand — rushed back into the store looking for his misplaced moolah. Man and money were soon reunited.
