“So the other night I’m in the middle of dropping off an Instacart order. An elder man pulled up and asked if I knew where St Luke’s Hospital was located.
Being that we were a bit far [from the hospital] I didn’t just want to say “make a left here and go straight,” so instead I told him I’ll use my GPS and you can follow me. I didn’t have any active orders so I figured why not?
I got in my car and had him follow me. When we arrived at St Luke’s I pulled to the side and told him ‘This is it.’ I wasn’t expecting anything in return, I just did it because I felt like helping him out.
He then says, “Can I tip you?”
I said ‘Sure.’ because I know you can’t really say ‘No’ to these old timers! I put the bill in my pocket without looking; it was quite dark anyways. We said thanks to each other, Happy Holidays and I drove off.
When I get home I check the bill as I’m putting it in my wallet. I’m expecting it to be a $5 or at most $10 bill, however, it was this $50 bill. I felt bad for a second, but at the same time I understood.
I’m sharing this story to publicly thank this gentlemen. I’m almost certain he doesn’t have a Facebook, but hopefully he shared the story with a family member of his that does and recognized it here.
Thank you, sir. May god multiply it tenfold. ??”
