Letter for Tuesday, July 2, 2019

Honesty appreciated

This morning (Saturday, June 29, 2019) my wife and I went to Lihue to purchase a chair and ottoman at Two Frogs Hugging. We found that we had some extra cash after the purchase. So, we went to Walmart to do some small kind shopping and ate a fast lunch at McDonald while there. Then we went to pay for our items.

To make a long story short, I left my wallet, cell phone, and some cash in a blue zippered KCFCU (now, Gather FCU…ew! I cringe at the new name) bag in the shopping cart in the parking lot. Then, I drove back to TFH to pick up the chair and ottoman. That’s when I realized, I didn’t have the blue zippered bag.

I quickly rushed back to Walmart only to find that the shopping cart wasn’t there anymore. I went into the store to Customer Service and asked if someone had found it and brought it to the Customer Service. Sure enough, it was there and everything was in tact. Even the cash! The worker informed me that an associate found it.

I didn’t get the name of the associate. But, whoever you are, I’d like to thank you with much mahalos, publicly!

There truly is still some honest people on Kauai! And also would like to thank my Heavenly Father for this Walmart associate.

Howard Tolbe, Eleele
