A Kind Gesture

Well, if you haven't noticed in the past two days, gas has jumped up ridiculously high...$3.68/gallon the last time I checked.  As usual, our car was on empty so Brad went to fill it up on his way home from school yesterday.  For some reason the pumps at the gas station weren't working right and wouldn't read anybody's card to pay at the pump.  Brad went into the gas station to pre-pay (that was the only option).  He went back outside and started filling up.  The total was something like 50 dollars.  He went back inside to finish up paying and apparently his pump was the only one that would work.  One of the managers at the store kept trying to look to see if it had charged our card but he couldn't find it anywhere.  It was pretty crowded in the gas station and some lady came in and was complaining about another problem.  Brad waited patiently and finally the guy said, "Your good, man.  I can't find it anywhere so don't worry about it." He was so surprised but was like, "OK."  Brad said he was so happy he sang all the way home in the car and smiled and waved at everybody.  We were so excited to get a free tank of gas and really grateful to the man at the gas station!
