Tonight I struck up a conversation with a woman outside of my apartment complex. She has been living in the street for some time and had been using the fenced in area next to our trash as a quiet shelter. I asked if there were any toiletries she needed. She mentioned how hungry she was and that teriyaki was her favorite, so we ended up at Teriyaki Madness down the street. I am currently only working part-time due to a disability and am barely making ends meet myself, but she seemed so hungry so I told her to get whatever she wanted. She ordered a little over $30 worth of foo. When I went to pay, however, the man at the register let me know the whole meal was comped. I teared up, I was seriously speechless.
With all the shit going on in the world (especially in this political climate) it’s imperative that we all take care of and look out for one another. I know how tough it is out there for everyone, especially smaller businesses. So I just wanted to take the time to give Teriyaki Madness the shout out they truly deserve for their selfless act of kindness tonight. Smaller businesses who understand the importance of community help make our cities great. Also, please remember to be kind to one another. Kindness is contagious. At the end of the day, we’re all just humans looking for connection. 🩷
