True Kindness

I was buying a diary and postcards in WH Smith in Muscat airport last night and wanted to pay in US Dollars.  It came to $6 and I had a $5 note and a $50 note.

I knew I would get the change in Rivals but I agreed to pay with the $50 note.

I hadn't seen her but suddenly a woman in the queue behind me said, you don't want to break that $50 note and handed over an Oman Rial note.

That was so kind and it has never happened to me before. I thanked her profusely and for the record, English accent.

very kind indeed. and i think ill do the same.

i had almost similar experience in Changi last year but unfortunately no one came to my rescue, although there is a man on the queue behind me. i end up charging SGD1.80 to my visa.
