QOTD- Sun. June 21 - Do you remember your last Random Act of Kindness (RAOK)?

[Shwa Girl]

The last roak that I received was yesterday.

I am 7months pregnant with twins and we planned on getting new tires for my truck at the end of summer. I had traveled up to Saskatoon for specialist appointments for the twins and I was 1hr away from home when I heard an odd sound. I checked it out and discovered that a strip of rubber on my one tire was suddenly missing and wires were exposed. I stopped at Kal-Tire to see if they could change it for me since I wasn't sure how long CAA would take if I called them. While there we discovered that my spare tire weird wear marks on the sidewall from rubbing while in storage under my truck. The people at Kal-Tire didn't want me driving home with my spare tire on. A different gentleman acted like my father while he was waiting for his own vehicle, which was being serviced. He offered to pay $50 towards the used tire that Kal-Tire wanted to sell me and have me pay the other $50. I didn't know this man, I was touched and cried. Shortly after he went inside the store the manager came out and told me that they don't need to make money off the used tires and they were going to give it to me, put it on my rim, and install it on my truck for free. The manage told me that he has 10 grandchildren and he wanted to make sure that we (twins and I) would arrive home safely. I haven't had things like this happen often to me, but I really appreciated the help. Dh and I will obviously be putting new tires on my truck in the very near future.

awesome example

Bumping this thread.

Left an extra large tip to our waitress as we won a fair bit at the London Casino. The food and service was fantastic too.
