Lost twenty bucks but got a free bagel

Tweet

It happened many years ago... I was at work and wanted to go get a bagel with cream cheese for lunch. I did not want to take my wallet with me, so I took out a twenty, put it in my pocket and went to the cafe. I got myself my favorite bagel with cream cheese and waited in line to pay for my items. When my turn came I went into my pocket to take out the money to pay and noticed that the twenty was not there. I checked all the other pockets with no results. I was majorly disappointed. Not only was I not going to get my bagel and cream cheese but I also somehow managed to lose $20. I don't remember what I told the cashier, but as I was about to leave the register without my bagel, the guy behind me offered to pay for it. I was shocked. Never in a million years did I think anyone would offer to pay... And I would never ask. I actually felt a bit uneasy about accepting his offer. But in the end I did. Goes to show that there are some nice people out there. After I got my bagel I went around the cafe before leaving and even retraced my steps from the cafe to the office but did not find my twenty. Thought maybe it fell in my cubicle somewhere but it wasn't there either. I was twenty dollars short but at least I got my bagel with cream cheese. So in a way I won.
