Hey, Hive buddies! ‎ ‎Today, I'm going to share my experience at the grocery store. ‎ ‎Remember the time, when we went to the grocery store with my baby Aiden and hubby?

As we decided to check out our basket, I tried to pay using GCash, opting for the convenience of online payment over traditional cash. ‎ ‎However, as I opened the app, the payment process flashed an error message. ‎ ‎At that moment, I felt a surge of frustration. ‎ ‎I tried again, but the same error message appeared. ‎ ‎I took a deep breath and attempted it a few more times, hoping that persistence would pay off. ‎ ‎Finally, after several tries, the payment went through, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

With our groceries paid for, my hubby and I walked to set off. ‎ ‎That time, I pulled out the receipt to double-check the items we'd purchased.

That's when I noticed something strange. ‎ ‎One of the items wasn't listed on the receipt. ‎ ‎It seemed we got it for free. ‎ ‎At first, I was tempted to let it slide, thinking it wasn't a big deal. ‎ ‎But then I thought about how I'd feel if I were the store owner or the cashier. ‎ ‎I wouldn't want someone to take advantage of my business, even if it was an honest mistake. ‎ ‎So I turned to my hubby and said that the cashier missed scanning one item, so we should go back and let her know. ‎ ‎My hubby agreed that it was the right thing to do. ‎ ‎So we headed back to the store, and I approached the cashier. ‎ ‎I said that she has missed scanning the item, and we will pay for it. ‎ ‎The cashier thanked us and quickly scanned the item. ‎ ‎I then paid the additional amount and left the store once again. ‎ ‎This experience taught me an invaluable insight. ‎ ‎That honesty isn't just about doing the right thing when it's easy. ‎ ‎It's about doing it even when it's inconvenient. ‎ ‎And it's not just about following rules or avoiding trouble. ‎ ‎It's about building trust and respect for others. ‎ ‎Hope you learned something today... ‎ ‎Do you prioritize honesty too in your own life? ‎ ‎I hope you do. ✨ ‎ ‎Until our next experience... ‎ Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 👋🥰
