OH and get this so I'm waiting to get my hairs cut and a gentleman in a wheelchair just finishing up and his card wont go through, they try over and over and the employees just keep asking well dont you have something else and just keep waiting for him to figure it out
So I walk up and say I'd like to offer to pay for his cut, and NOW they all were like oh it's ok its on the house. It pissed me off, how come they only offered once I offered it seemed more like a bruised EGO that being generous. Its bugging me. I've been getting my Hairs cut there for about 15+ yrs. I may change location after that.

That really upsets me too, seeing as though I am in the trade. Sometimes things happen and cards won't work or sometimes people just don't have the money for what they need. It wouldn't have hurt their business to give a cut on the house but on the other hand, if it was a situation where an employee is depending on every single cut to make ends meet, it could be frustrating on both ends.
I cannot speak about the intent of their offer but it seems as though you would be correct in guessing they felt guilty after somebody else offered to step in and take care of client needs instead of them doing the right thing from the start.
Personally the money is the least valuable piece of that story. Thank you for being generous and offering to help somebody else. I am sure we've all been there. I have when my card wouldn't work at the gas station after I pumped. Now and then we all just need to remember that we are all connected and paying it forward instead of only thinking about yourself is part of what keeps us going.
