Behind the Counter

I felt hot. Pained with regret. I should have priced it higher or bought it myself and given it to the mother. I said . . .

I always wondered what brought people to the moral tipping point of shoplifting from a charity shop . . .

My colleagues at the shop said she asked everyone to tidy her garden but apparently I didn't know what I was letting myself in for.

Donations in a charity shop may not carry much physical weight but I quickly discovered from one family, they do carry sentimental weight.
