A nice lady standing next to me slid a $10 bill over to me and said take it. I declined and went on my merry way. Got to the Epsom circle and went to McDonalds there. Tried the same ploy. The clerk said, no problem. Said, just stop in the next time you're by this way and pay. Happy day.
Got to Nashua and took care of my business there but was hungry again at the end of the day. Went to a branch office of a bank I do business with and said I needed some money. I told them I knew my bank account number but didn't have any identification with me. They asked if I had my auto registration in my truck as identification. I showed that to them, gave them my account number, they asked me a bunch of questions and I walked out the door with $50 from my account. Nice.
Drove back home through Epsom, paid my bill at McDonalds and got home safely.
Kudos to the lady at Alton McDonalds, the Epsom McDonalds clerk and to the bank staff who made my day.

I had a similar exoerience but from the other side of the drive thru.
It was dark and snowing hard Christmas Eve and we were very busy with last minute shoppers. A lady ordered for her whole family but upon arriving at the cash window she discovered that she had no cash. She apologized and told us she had to go home and return with some money.
We were very fast and had the order assembled, ready to hand out. I tendered the order and handed her the receipt. My crew brought her order up to the cash window and handed it to her. She promised to return in a few minutes with the cash. That made no sense to me because 1) it was snowing...a lot and 2) it was Christmas Eve. I told her that any time next week would be fine. My crew was betting that I had just been scammed. A few days later she proved them wrong.
