Oh Honey...

Today at the bank while I was waiting for my turn:

Freshman Guy: Miss. I lost my wallet and my ATM is in it.

Bank Employee: Here's the form to fill up the affidavit of loss. Then we'll file for a card replacement.

Freshman Guy: I heard an affidavit of loss costs around Php 200.00, can I just widraw it?

Bank Employee: Unfortunately that's not the protocol. You have to fill this up then we'll go from there. You need to replace your card.

Freshman takes the form then goes back to the Bank Employee.

Freshman Guy: Miss, what if the one who found it will return my card here in the bank? My ATM's my only identification in that wallet. Where's the section for the Lost and Found or Returned cards?

Bank Employee: (Smiles) Honestly, don't get your hopes up but it will never be returned...


Oh Honey.

I appreciate the bank employee being blunt and honest about it, but what is more surprising (at least to me) that there are still some 17-year old freshman living in the world where honesty is the best policy, and returning what is not yours is still the way to go.

Love 'em.

Oh Honey...
