I mentioned to my dad that my car needed some parts - windshield wipers and a new inside door handle - so he took me to the auto parts store.

They had wipers, but they said we'd have to come back later in the day to pick up the handle. While we were there, one of the guys mentioned they'd been having theft problems.

He asked if Dad would help install some security cameras. Dad said he could, because his workplace had been so slow that he hadn't been called in to work since October.

So later, we came back to pick up the handle, and the guy who owned the store was there. He asked if it was true Dad hadn't been working lately. He said they'd had to fire their last few cashiers for theft.

He grew up with my dad and knows he's honest, so he asked if my dad would like a new job - same pay but full time instead of part time. So that's the story of how my dad starts his new job on Monday.

yay!!

5/5 great story! Good for your dad

That's great!
