Default Sometimes your faith in humanity is restored

At work today, photo retail. A middle age woman comes in with a brand new in box Pentax camera (worth $800) and explains that she won it and has no use for it and would we buy in. Tell her that we can't really do that.
She said she'd probably give it away. A young person at the counter, who was looking at buying a camera jokingly said she'd take it
The woman said fine, gave it to her and walked out.
The young person was overwhelmed (and profusely thanked the woman), as were we at the counter.
That woman just earned 1000 Karma points in my opinion.

The woman probably won the camera on the stars lottery. There are some kind people still roaming the earth. We just need more of them.
