A week after I chased two men away from a single mom at pump six, a cardboard box showed up at work with my name on it.
My manager, Carl, called me into the back office like I was about to be fired.
“Tell me you didn’t bring trouble to my store, Jesse.”
“I paid for her gas, man,” I said. “That’s all.”
Carl pointed at the box on his desk.
“Then explain why this came for you.”
