'Alright then,' he said with a twinkle in his eye, 'just one bag.' He reached under the counter and pulled out another bag, which had been hidden there since last night's shift. As the old man walked away, whistling merrily, the cashier whispered to himself, 'Welcome to Kwik Trip—closed, but never too busy to help a friend!'
