YOU DON’T HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT

Yesterday I walked to my neighborhood store to get some snacks, what I normally get usually comes out to $2. 

I can tell the cashier was new when he had the nerve to charge me $2.40. I said “whaaaa”. Now I’m typically the type to just go whatever and pay it because I’d rather get on about my day then to argue people down, especially about $2.

However, I always take a stand when I feel like my principles are being interfered with and yesterday they totally were.

I told the young man “Naw bro this never come up to $2.40” and I just looked at him with $2 in my hand and I knew he could feel I wasn’t coming out that 40¢.

He then turned to the more experienced cashier and spoke to him in his native tongue. He then retorted back to me “$2 is fine”.

Me thinking to myself, “Yeah I know it is”, I gave him 8 quarters and trucked it home.

When you know how you or something you care about should be valued, you don’t let people set the standard for you. 

Just like I know that total should remain $2, whatever principles you stand on in life should remain, unwavering!
