题目内容

When Paula Grzelak-Schultz spotted a piece of paper tucked under her windshield(挡风玻璃) wipers, she thought she was getting fined for leaving her car in a bar parking lot overnight. With a heavy sigh, Grzelak-Schultz removed the paper and unlocked her car.

Hardly had she unfolded the paper when she got shocked. It was a letter from the manager of Original Joe’s Restaurant & Bar in Sherwood Park, Canada.

“Just wanted to thank you for leaving your car parked overnight,” Jay McLean, managing partner at Original Joe’s, wrote. “I’m not sure if you had consumed alcohol at our restaurant or not, but we wanted to thank you for not drinking and driving.”

Inside it,, Grzelak-Schultz also found a voucher（代金券） for 1 pound of chicken wings.

“Please accept this as a thank you for being responsible,” McLean wrote. “Life is valuable, have a great weekend.”

Grzelak-Schultz was touched.

“I was sure it was going to be a ticket or a scolding from someone for leaving my vehicle there for so long,” Grzelak-Schultz told CBS News. “I was truly surprised and so pleased that the manager took the time to acknowledge my good judgment.”

She decided to share the man’s good deed on Facebook.

“Wow! I’m so impressed. Definitely going back,” Grzelak-Schultz wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday that has since gone widespread with nearly 8,500 shares. “Not just because of the voucher, but also because of how well this guy treats his regular customers.”

Exactly a week later, Grzelak-Schultz returned to the restaurant to thank McLean for his kindness, and discovered that she’s not the only customer to receive this leter.

“He’s been doing it for over a year, with no expectations.” She explained. “Just being a good guy.”
