I was working at a fast-food restaurant one day when this woman left her Louis Vuitton bag on a table. After waiting for roughly twenty minutes, I realized that I had seen her go, so I picked it up and placed it in the lost and found. I never took a peek inside.
A month elapsed. “Hey, it’s been a month…do you want that bag?” my supervisor asked. Sure, I replied, and I went to get it in the rear. To my astonishment, when I unsnapped the lid, all that was inside was a sheet of paper. When I unfolded the piece of paper, I saw that it was the bag’s receipt.
“To the girl who needed a new purse during the holidays” was written on the receipt. whoever this woman was originally intended to be doing this for. I noticed the receipt and thought, $1700 for this bag? I carried it home, carefully placed my belongings inside, and kept quiet about it.
I looked fantastic in a lot of job interviews thanks to that purse. I still have the bag because it brings back memories of my humble beginnings and serves as a reminder to me to help others.
