For several weeks a woman kept coming by looking for 1 pound ankle weights with velcro. We didn't have them. Last week as I was cleaning my house, I found a pair that I had bought during the pandemic. I made a mental note to bring them in. Unfortunately, the lady came back before I was able to bring them in. I told her I found a pair at home and asked her to come back on Friday.
It was almost closing and I thought she wasn't going to show. Luckily, a few minutes before we closed she walked in. I showed her what I found. She was so very pleased. She asked what she owed me. I told her she didn't owe me anything. I didn't donate these to the Donor Closet. It was a gift from me to her.
I love it when we make our customers happy. We can't always give things away for free. We still have to pay our rent, electricity, etc. But for a used paid or ankle weights, I made somebody's day.
