One day, I was working at a fast food restaurant when this lady left her Louis Vuitton bag on the table.
I waited about 20 minutes yet remembered seeing her depart, so I grabbed it and placed it in the lost and found. I never glanced inside. A month passed by.
My manager asked, “Hey, it’s been a month…do you want that bag?”
I answered yes and went into the rear to collect it. I opened the top and was surprised to find nothing but a piece of paper.

I opened the piece of paper to find a receipt for the bag.
On the receipt was a message that read, “To the girl who needed a new purse during the holidays.”
Whoever this lady was planning to do this in the first place. I looked at the receipt—$1700 for this bag!?
I carefully packed my belongings in it, took it home, and said nothing further about it. That purse helped me seem nice in a lot of job interviews.
I still have the bag because it reminds me of those humble days when I didn’t have much and encourages me to give back to others.
