I went to Subway tonight and I realized as they were making my sandwich, the guy had to skip over 2 other sandwiches that were just sitting there. I wondered whose sandwiches they were, until I saw this rich looking guy sitting casually by the window reading a paper.
After my sandwich was complete the Subway guy said the rich guy, "Excuse me sir, what would you like on your sandwich?"
I thought that was rather odd. This rich guy ordered two sandwiches and then sat down while he waited for them to be finished. Obviously he had never been to Subway before. I wonder what brought him to stoop so low as to enter this franchise restaurant in the first place.
"I'll have whatever goes on the sandwich!" The rich man barked in frustration.
Subway guy sheepishly replied, "Here you have to choose what toppings you want..."
"I don't give a sh*# what you put on it!" Snapped the rich man as he answered his ringing phone.
As I began to eat my sandwich I heard him comply and say what he wanted, all the while still talking on his phone trying to make some business deal.
When he went to pay for his food I noticed him look down at the ground. I could see a penny at his feet. He reached down and grabbed the penny.
I wondered to myself, "What is he going to do with a penny?" If it was me I would have either put it in the tip jar or thrown it in the garbage (I hate pennies by the way, more on that later!) What do you think he did?
Yeah, he put it in his pocket and walked away.

And that's why he's rich
it's true! the guy i work for is a multi-millionare and one time he found a quarter that someone glued to the ground as a joke, and he worked at the glue until he was able to successfully release the quarter and put it in his pocket. It still seems funny though, a rich person willing to dirty their hands to pick up a penny off the ground- and yet, half the time they are that person sitting off to the side barking orders rather than doing the dirty work.
good story.
