The wife and my daughter get lunch at McDonalds and then get gas at the Han-Dee Hugo (Kildaire Farm & Maynard). SIX HOURS later Daughter remembers that she'd put her $500 retainers in the McDonalds bag that Wife had thrown away at the gas station!!! Wife calls the station in a panic, tries to explain the situation to the non-native English speaker who doesn't seem to understand. I grab a pair of gloves and we drive up there. Wife pops into the station to warn the clerk that we're about to go dumpster-diving, and he hands her the retainers!!! :-) So this gas station clerk named "Conteh" from Gambia had taken it upon himself to go search for the retainers for us based on just a phone call. I am beyond astonished and delighted.

It is somewhat sad that we live in a time and place where a simple good deed brings so much praise.

I think most would agree that what the attendant did goes WELL BEYOND what most would consider a "simple good deed".
