It must prove something

As it was Saturday, my wife and I decided to go to one of the local Tim Hortons for our morning coffee today. As usual on the weekend, or at most other times s well, we were dressed casually. Far from elegant, but by no means scruffy. When we entered the store the was no lineup, just one middle aged man in a suit placing an order for his breakfast, it was about 10AM. When the employee put his bill up for him to pay, he said to the cashier “Put the bill for the couple behind me on my bill”, which despite our protestations, she did. Fortunately we only had one coffee, one hot water and two cookies so it was probably only about $6.00. My natural reaction was to pass the donation on to the next in line, but there was no one behind us. WE will have to remember that we owe someone coffee on our next visit, but I had not realised before that we could pass as homeless so easily. Maybe there is a lesson in this some where!
