Thievery

Posted on January 28, 2009 by citystreams

Over the weekend, Officer Hubster and a few of the guys on his shift volunteered to be the police escort at the funeral for their sargeant’s grandmother. The guys did an excellent job. As a way of saying thank you, Sarge invited them to breakfast this morning at a local pancake shoppe. The three men were in uniform, and after the waitress laid the check on the table, they spent a few minutes chatting before heading back out for their shift.

While they were shooting the breeze, a gray haired man walked up to their table, grabbed their bill and proclaimed, “Thi-yes is what ya call THIEVERY gentlemen!” Then he trotted up to the counter and paid for their breakfast.

    I know that the restaurant cant give them their meal free, or even reduced, but it’s nice to see another customer “steal” their bill.

    It’s nice to know that they are appreciated.

    How awesome!

    People stop my husband when we are out and about and he’s in his ACU’s and say thanks. It’s nice, but sometimes, I’m a little embarassed. It’s his job. He likes it. I don’t stop the cable guy, or the UPS guy in a store and say thank you. I know why they do it, and it is nice. My issue to work on…lol

    SO sweet!

    I was in Publix around Christmas time, putting Brooks in his shopping cart when a mom and two little boys walked in to do the same. A soldier walked in behind them and with out hesitating the little boy said so sweetly, “Thank you for what you do.” It was so precious. I got teary-eyed. I hope I can raise my child to be grateful to others!
