The Honor System is a Hassle

This morning we went to McDonald's for some hot cakes and McGriddles. It was a great morning treat. Mandi didn't have to be at work till 10 so we had some time to squeeze in some family time. But.....and here is where the morning turned into a hassle, when we went to pay the debit card system at Mickey D's was out. Oh NO, we are a plastic family, we never have cash. But the friendly manager stepped in and took care of our meal, on the honor system. She let us have our hot cakes, mcgriddle, coffee, and OJ; all she asked is that when we were done if we would come back and try to pay again. We tried. Nope. System was still down. So we had to drive across the street to an ATM to get some cash. We then headed back to pay. So I ran in and paid for our meal. It took her a while to figure out how to complete the transaction, I guess they don't do this kinda thing often. Then back to the car I go. When I got home I realized that there was a grand purpose to this morning's events. Maybe it was that we just completed a series at church on Honor. Or maybe it was because the snowcone stands also only take cash, and guess who now has a little cash in his wallet from the change at McDonald's?
