Got change for a ten when I paid with a five the cashier was very happy I corrected him

  That was very honest.  :police:  So many people would just have kept the money.

I never would have been able to go in there again if I had kept it and they make the best sausage egg and cheese sandwiches in town

Once saw a hidden camera test of that idea, and recalling only one person didn't give the money back to the cashier. When questioning them afterward, it seems it's not that people aren't opportunistic about money, but instead empathetic, realizing the cashier probably doesn't earn a great deal and their mistakes likely come out of their own pocket.

Yeah, after you sneaked up on them and untied them.

Pretty much how I feel.   Though I have experienced lapses in my empathy in the past after being treated very poorly by the person ringing me out. 

Also oddly enough when I went and got a coffee this morning, not the same place I get egg sandwiches, the cashier informed me she had over charged me the day before and gave back $2.  I had not even noticed so I tossed a dollar in her tip jar for telling me

Trying my best to keep the floor dry, volunteered at the animal shelter from 2:21pm to 4:15pm

Whenever I visit the shelter I visit the other animals instead of just working with the Rabbits like I'm suppose to ._.

I went to go see what Dogs we had, as well as the Cats, and a Mouse family that was brought in.

The Turtles were interesting, yet it looked like they preferred to look dazed while they were swimming in the water of their aquarium.

^My sister works at a cattery. Even though she has to clean litter trays, I still envy her.

My good deed for the day was taking my friend to the doctor, she can't drive as she has pleurisy.

  I'm currently too fat for sneaky maneuvers like that.  :P
