Buck #1
Found: One dollar in US currency. This is the first of two recent finds outside the usual realm of bars, but in a rather conspicuous place. Just goes to show you how few people look where they’re walking.
Location: The main lobby of 580 Harrison Ave in the south end neighborhood of Boston. This is a busy office building and the dollar was found literally in the middle of the lobby around the time when workers are filing into the building in the morning.
Source: An unknown worker or visitor to the office building. I’m not exactly sure why this dollar would have broken free of its owner’s iron-tight grasp at this point, as office lobbies aren’t normally a spot for pulling out cash or fishing for keys.
Destination: This dollar made The Shoegazer’s lunch slightly cheaper on this day. And when you make what The Shoegazer makes, a dollar certainly helps.
Buck #2
Found: A one-dollar bill, folded and lying on the floor unnoticed by all save The Shoegazer.
Location: In front of the registers at a Dunkin Donuts at the intersection of Washington and East Berkeley Streets in Boston.
Source: A Dunkies patron who was just a little too careless in pulling their cash out of a pocket to pay for a coffee or bagel. They’re lucky they were only parted with Mr. Washington here and not Misters Jackson, Lincoln or Hamilton.
Destination: This one was tossed into the tip cup for the Dunkin’s employees, who seem to work pretty hard and one of whom is pretty good at remembering The Shoegazer’s order – small iced coffee, extra milk, 2 equals. That’s the stuff.
