“Once he was useless to you, now he is useful both to you and to me” (Philemon 1:11)
The warm donut smell escaped past the sign reading:
Credit-Debit Card Machine Broken
Cash or Check Only
The shop owner busily works both the drive up window and
counter. With each customer, she pleasantly informs them before they order,
“I’m sorry: my credit-debit card machine is down, I can only take cash or
check. Is that OK?”
The five people in line and those at the window in turn are
told the same, as she fairly alternates between the two. Finally, she tells the
person in front of me the same pleasant tale.
The young woman says, “No problem,” and orders eight
different things; asking for separate bags and that each be warmed.
To pay for the donuts, she pulls out a card.
The nice donut lady, “I’m sorry, but I can’t take
credit-debit cards only cash or check, my machine is broken.”
“Yes, I know; but, this
is a check card.”
She left mad and without donuts.
A beautiful lady smiles at me, “I’m sorry: my credit-debit
card machine is down, I can only take cash or check. Is that OK?”
