I love how people trust others in Spain
I ordered a box of wines for BIL's birthday. DH asked: "Did they take your name?" "No." "Did they take your phone number?" "No." "People really trust people here."
It's kind of nice. The same thing can happen in a bar you frequent for the morning coffee if you forget your money: "Just pay me tomorrow." Sometimes, when I worked at Dunkin Donuts and the credit/debit card line was down and people didn't have cash, I'd let them pay me later or tomorrow (only the regulars). Every. Single. One. came back, and most left a huge tip for trusting them.
I can say a lot about the state of Spain right now, but it truly is nice to be trusted like that.
Re: I love how people trust others in Spain
I love stuff like that. They keep a running list at my work's cafeteria (a bit different, I know) for people who forgot lunch money. It's just awesome to have someone say, 'you know what, bring it in next time'--and from the crossed off names on the list, people definitely do.
Also, when travelling to the Cotswolds, there's a little town where there's an 'honesty box' for cute crafts. I've seen these sorts of boxes before, but this one is especially memorable for me--just really adorable, I guess.
