I waited in the morning rush hour line at the local coffee shop. My laptop was in one hand and my work bag in the other, while I searched around for my debit card. An older gentleman stood beside me. “You can go ahead of me”, he said with a smile. “You look like you have something important to do. I’ve done my time already, and besides, you’re probably paying for my social security too”, he said with a grin and a chuckle.
