I continue to be amazed by the people in Minnesota.
My husband brought home a flyer for a Christmas performance this Saturday. I checked online to buy tickets but there was no option for purchasing online. I called the number on the flyer and spoke with a nice gentleman.
The man explained that there is an online form I can download and mail in with a check.
Me: Oh, will I get the tickets back before Saturday if I mail it today?
Him: Let me put them in the mail to you today. You can send me a check.
Me: What???
Him: I’ll mail them to you today. Here’s the address where you can send the check.
Amazing! Such trust. I put the check in the mail right away.
I don’t believe I have ever encountered so  many people who trust that strangers are going to do what they say they will do.
It’s called “Minnesota nice.” Although, Wikipedia has a different angle on it.
I like it. Sure — people can be taken advantage of but sometimes one has to step out and trust that other people will do the “right” thing.
Go Minnesota!

Hmmmm….seems to me you’re also trusting that he will remember to send you those tickets. 😀
And he did. I received them in the mail today. 🙂
