Find a Penny, Pick it Up

Tweet

Despite the title this isn't really about money. But it is about a penny. Roughly a year ago the store I work at changed management. For 10 years I had worked with the same guy and we had a good working relationship. Same can't be said for the new guy who has been trying to get me out of there. In fact he would have demoted me in January if I had not fought for my job. Meanwhile he (and the person/people he wants in my place) have accused me of being LAZY and not doing my job. This is where the penny comes in. One day I noticed a penny on the floor of the ladies restroom. Normally I pick up every penny I find (because pennies add up to dollars) but I left this one for no real reason. The next day the penny was still there. In the very same spot. Funny...that means the restroom floor was not swept or mopped that night. The day after that the penny was still on the restroom floor, but shifted a little. So either someone kicked it, or the bathroom was mopped but not swept. I left it again, out of curiosity this time... The day after that was my day to close. The penny was still on the floor. (Imigane that). So, I cleaned the restroom that night. Toilets, sink, mirrors, swept and mopped the floor. That penny is now in my penny jar at home. But I can't help but wonder..how long would it have stayed on the restroom floor if the "lazy" one had not cleaned the restroom.
