I was late for work but the warning light on my gas gauge had been lit since I left the house. So I pulled into the nearest gas station and asked the attendant to pump only Php500 worth of fuel.

“You accept credit cards?” I asked the gas boy.

“Yes ma’am,” he replied and took my card. He returned and said that their credit card machine rejected my card. I didn’t have any other card and I was almost sure I didn’t have P500.

I got all the money I had in my wallet and in the car. I came up with P485.

“This is all I have,” I told the attendant sheepishly.

“It’s OK, ma’am, I’ll take care of the difference,” he replied.
