Overheard a cashier tell an old lady her coupon expired yesterday

I was at the grocery line behind this older woman who had a 50-cent coupon that expired yesterday. The cashier just smiled, scanned it anyway, and said 'looks good to me.' That small lie probably made her whole day and cost the store nothing.

Looks good to me" - that line right there is the kind of small grace we're losing everywhere. Cashiers used to do stuff like that all the time before every store started watching everything on cameras and scanning every tiny rule. Now you got self-checkouts yelling at you for putting your avocado wrong, but a human who just decides to be nice can make someone's morning better for 50 cents. It makes you wonder how many other little kindnesses we've traded for efficiency that doesn't even help anybody.
