Hmmmmmm....

Today on my way home, I stopped at QT in Tempe...

because the tank registered almost empty.  When I pulled up I noticed a beat up white car with a young couple sitting in it, not getting gas, just sitting there.  I thought it was a little weird, and I went ahead and got gas.  They sat there the entire time I pumped gas.  At first I thought they were waiting for someone in the store, but no one came out.  When I finished, one of them asked me if I could help them out by buying them some gas, that they actually coasted into the gas station.  I told them I didn't have cash - okay, that was a lie, but I never feel good about giving people cash - food or something else, yes, but not cash.  After looking at my wallet, I told them I could give them $5 and I would take it inside.  They were thrilled and said anything would help.  When I went inside, I actually gave them $10 worth of gas.  Well, now they were really happy.  It didn't come without a cost - I had to give them the "mom" speech about using their gas wisely.  Kate and Kim - no worries - it was a one-line speech - nothing like you would get.  They were glad to get the gas and so they obliged me and smiled.

What do I think of this?  I am not sure, but it was only $10 and if it helped them get to where they need to be, then I'm okay with it.  Now I feel like I should have done more.

Have a great weekend!
