Was at a El Pollo Loco last night. They have three touch screen machines for ordering and there where two Latino families that were struggling with them. A young man that worked there was helping them out. Meanwhile, I'll say, us locals, were ordering on the third machine pretty quickly.
Then as I was ordering... I saw the family next to me... counting pennies on the counter. And with the few leftover coins, they stashed it back into a paper envelope. Not a coin purse. Not a wallet. In that envelope... there were maybe a couple of bills.
Kinda makes you think... how long have they been here. Was that their wages for that day? Were there kids at home... waiting for mom and dad to bring dinner home?
Land of opportunities... roll up your sleeves... work hard... and start climbing. For a better tomorrow...
