OH THIS IS GOOD!
This old lady handed her bank card to the teller and said âI would like to withdraw $10â. The teller told her âfor withdrawals less than $100, please use the ATM.
The old lady wanted to know why... The teller returned her bank card and irritably told her âthese are the rules, please leave if there is no further matter. There is a line of customers behind youâ.
The old lady remained silent for a few seconds and handed her card back to the teller and said âplease help me withdraw all the money I have.â The teller was astonished when she checked the account balance. She nodded her head, leaned down and respectfully told her âyou have $300,000 in your account but the bank doesnât have that much cash currently. Could you make an appointment and come back again tomorrow?
The old lady then asked how much she could withdraw immediately. The teller told her any amount up to $3000. âWell please let me have $3000 now.â The teller kindly handed $3000 very friendly and with a smile to her.
The old lady put $10 in her purse and asked the teller to deposit $2990 back into her account.
The moral of this story is....
Donât be difficult with old people, they spent a lifetime learning the skill.

Too often, we conflate
good manners with actual ethics.
Hiding behind pleasantries
enables those who harm others.
Confront wrongdoing
Openly
even when it's uncomfortable.
Stand up for what's right,
not just what looks proper.đ

He is Puerto Rican.
He went to a @kroger store in Savannah Georgia.
He purchased groceries, a bottle of wine, and some beer.
The cashier asked to see his ID, understandably.
He presented his Puerto Rico Real ID/drivers license.
He says the cashier then asked to see his passport.
He informed the cashier that he is a United States citizen, and that his ID is a valid drivers license and so he doesnât need to show his U.S. passport.
He says the cashier told him they used to accept it but Kroger actually has a policy now against accepting Puerto Rico IDs.
He asked to speak with the manager who said the employee was right.
(Watch for the rest of the story)
He is Ricardo Florit (@FloritBerlinger), a U.S. military veteran whoâs served overseas as a naval nuclear submarine officer/engineer.
On this Memorial Day, know that:
Approximately 20,000 Puerto Rican service members served in World War I, and 65,000 fought in World War II. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, more than 1,225 Puerto Ricans have died while serving for the United States.

#Haiti was the first country in the world to permanently abolish slavery & the slave trade. Haitians dealt a decisive blow to the entire system of slavery. Our ancestors became a threat to the existing world order. Haitian history is world history. Happy Haitian Heritage Month!đđč

Ralph Paul Yarl was picking up his two siblings. He went to the wrong house in Kansas City, Missouri. The White man who opened the door did not see a lost 16-year-old boy. He saw a threat. Shot Ralph, twice. Once in the head to kill him. Somehow Ralph survived. 1/
