Blind

A few weeks ago our lone vending machine was fired.  

The managers told us that it was “uneconomical” to keep 

 it on and so, with the decision being fiscal, we recognized 

 that the decision was final. 

  

We mourned its absence but a week later a representative  

for The National Blind Children’s Society arrived and asked  

to be allowed to place a charity tray downstairs. It was placed 

 there the following Monday and was filled with packets of Nuts 

and Cheesy Bites and Rice Crackers and the like, and on the sides 

 of it, it read that it had an honesty box policy of £1 per packet. 

  

What we learned was that blind kids make great snack food. 

It’s now a recognized fact in my office. The ‘ChariSnack’ tray,  

as far as bins full of empty packets can testify, it is a roaring  

success. Why am I telling you this? I figure that you should  

have an example of why what they say is true, that when you  

lose something you’ll gain something else will fill the space.
