I probably am overthinking all of this, so I'll buy her a gift card as a thank you, but I want to comment on this
also you assumed she was poor.. eww
maybe it’s her second job and does well, maybe she’s got a ceo and monoid good and this is just a way to pass time
I don't get why you do this. You take people's words and you twist them around so they don't mean what the person said, and I really don't get it.
I said nowhere that she's poor, I said that I took her
time.
She worked hard for that money, and she worked for an hour to an hour and a half for it. I've been in the service industry, I've dealt with customers. I know what spending that time is like and by not having my wallet and by her generosity I took that time from her. Who knows how that hour and a half was for her, maybe it was just fine and there were no issues, but maybe she was dealing with the customer from hell for half of it. Maybe she absolutely loves her job and it doesn't ever feel like work for her. I wouldn't go back to a customer facing job for what I'm getting paid now, and I know she's getting less than that.
I'm less concerned about the money, but more what that money represents.
She may not see it that way, and that's fine. However I do, and that aspect of it bothers me.
Please don't put words in my mouth. Eww
