Stopped in at my local Wachovia bank and made a couple of deposits. Asked the teller if they would order boxes of Half dollars for me. The teller said that nobody has ever asked for Half Dollars before so she took my name and phone number.
I figured that would be the end of the story but no, I get a call from the manager of the branch stating that she would order whatever I wanted and in any quantity that I wanted. She did place an order for 1 box for me already and I could pick that up on Friday. She told me so speak to her (gave her full name to me) whenever I wanted to order anything like that in the future.
Turns out that I looked up one of my track students in our student system at work to find out her mothers name, it was the branch manager.....
I asked her if she had a daughter and gave the childs name, she said yes, that is my daughter how did you know? She then looked at my name on the slip of paper that the teller gave her and said are you "Coach Scott".
I did indeed tell her that I was the coach in question and the conversation went from professional to friendly immediately. My daughter talks about you all the time during Track season and how you like to joke around and make the kids feel important and praise them for their accomplishments instead of berating and ignoring like all the other coaches of the different sports she plays. To make a long story short, she was even happier to order them for me and set me up for a box every other week, if I wished to increase my order just call her and she gave me her direct line and her cell phone number.
You never ever know when Karma will come back around to you.
Guess it isn't karma, I just enjoy working with the future leaders of tomorrow and sometimes good things come of that. I am sure that Mrs. Apush can say the same thing.
Wish me luck on my first box, the wife is even excited about helping me search. With one child being a corrections officer and our youngest just leaving for boot camp at Great Lakes, it will give us a hobby that both enjoy....
