Yesterday, on my way to MINJ to try their wings, I pulled up in the metered spot and this gentleman who was probably about my age or so pulled up and sat down. When I got out I was 1/2 expecting him to hit me up but feeling bad about the assumption. But was covered by the “I don’t keep any cash on me”
Astutely assesing my tag, he addressed my Fraternity by it’s founding year and remarked that it was Fraternity Brother’s Birthday (Bro. MLK Jr.). I nodded at his observation while putting change in the meter. I don’t know if it was because of the holiday, but the meter wasn’t taking my money and then the sticker notified me that it was at this moment a free spot.
Then came the “can you help me put some change together so I can get something to eat?” to which I added my 50 cents to his 8.
