Makes Me Think - Today, for some reason the register at my local supermarket would not let my check go through. When I asked to see the manager, the cashier came to my side of the counter and swiped her own credit card. She said, "Honey, I see you in here all the time. Pay me back when you get the chance. I trust you." MMT

Within the past two months, have you changed any primary information on your account, like a phone number? Sometimes something that small will keep your check from being approved. I'm not sure why the cashier took that chance, unless you'd held up the line, when a quick phone call usually clears it right up.

That is so sweet of the manager. I think you should post this on givesmehope.com because not alot of people would do that.
