The bag was still unclaimed after a month. In passing, my manager said, \u201cHey, it\u2019s been a month\u2026Would you like that bag? After giving it some thought, I decided to go to the back and get it. When I eventually made the decision to open it, I was shocked to discover that it was completely empty save for one piece of paper.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo the girl who needed a new purse during the holidays\u201d was written in hand on the paper, which was a receipt. Upon closer inspection of the receipt, I discovered that the bag had cost $1,700! It appeared that the woman, whoever she was, had planned this random act of kindness all along and had meant to leave this bag for someone in greater need.<\/p>\n
I kept the discovery to myself as I carefully packed my belongings into the bag and headed home. That purse turned into more than just a stylish accessory; it gave me a slightly boost in confidence and made me appear more put together during job interviews.<\/p>\n
