When I saw the title, the first thing I thought was they probably did not know you were supposed to tip. I would not have.

Back around 1974, I got a call from an oil company in Tulsa. We lived there at the time. It turned out someone had found our checkbook.

I followed directions and to my surprise, I was standing in the executive suite talking to the president of the company.

He gave me the checkbook and I thanked him. It was one of their employees who found it.

Maybe ten years later I thought about it and it hit me that I might should have left a tip. Still not sure.

“and it hit me that I might should have left a tip.”

When I has in college, my Grandpa left me money in his will to buy an opal ring. Go to the jewelry shop, reach into my purse to get the envelope with the cash to cover it and the envelop was gone. Talked to the story manager and some kid had returned it.

Found out from the store a few weeks later the kids name and address. Sent this kid’s parent the kindest letter I could think of and the kid a chunk of change. (I was a waitress back then)

It really makes you feel great! So worth the time/and or effort.
