When a couple walked out of the restaurant without paying their $400 bill, I cried because I knew that money would have to come out of my pocket.
At the time, it felt like the worst thing that could happen.
Instead, it became the luckiest $400 I ever lost.
Four hundred dollars was not a small amount of money to me.
It was nearly two weeks of groceries.
It could cover the electric bill and still leave enough to put something toward next semester’s tuition.
For people like the couple
