Sari-Sari Store Owner Expresses Gratitude to Generous Customers Who Say ‘Keep the Change’
A sari-sari store owner has expressed her immense joy online, sharing how generous customers often say, ‘Keep the change.’
Recently, Curly Kikay, a Facebook user, shared her joy online after experiencing a series of generous customers who told her to “keep the change.” The post quickly circulates online and elicited comments from netizens.
In the post, Curly shared a moment where a customer handed her P110 for a purchase. As usual, she prepared the change, but to her surprise, the customer told her to keep it instead.
Curly described how this wasn’t just a one-time event. Several customers, mostly students, had been doing the same thing recently. Whether it was for a small snack or a quick treat, many customers didn’t take their change, saying that they didn’t need it or that it wasn’t worth much to them.
The sari-sari store owner found this particularly touching, as it wasn’t something she had encountered frequently before.
Kikay also shared her thought, wondering why so many customers were being so generous all of a sudden. Despite her initial surprise, she felt grateful for their kindness, noting how even the smallest gestures can make a big difference in her day.
