[Nfbk] What are your thoughts?

[Melanie Peskoe]

Hello NFBK family,

I listened to an article this morning titled "Warren Buffet Calls to Thank
DQ Employee for Helping Blind Man". Here is the link
http://umanoapp.com/clip/523c9ad17c61a4bef0d94b92 if you'd like to listen to
it as well - it's only about 2 minutes long. Essentially, the article
praises a store manager for giving a blind guy $20 of his own money after
the guy dropped a $20 bill and the person who found it would not return it.
I have very mixed feelings about this article and I'd like to hear what you
all think. On one hand the store manager did a good deed that should be
appreciated - he gave out of his own pocket to help someone. But that's
where my good feelings about this situation end. Here are my problems with
the situation. First, would this guy have given his own money to anyone else
who dropped their money 'and' would he have gotten the same notoriety and
praise for doing so? Why is the fact that he gave to a blind guy so
noteworthy? Because the general public still sees blindness as something to
pity. That's all I will say about it for now, because I'd like to hear what
you guys have to say. Do you agree with me or do you have a differing
opinion to offer? I'm eager to see what conversation follows. 

 

Melanie
