Hoot Owl staff refused a reward

Recently I lost a checkbook cover that held my only debit card and other important items, as well as some cash. I lost it at the Hoot Owl Chevron in Sultan.

When I realized it was missing, I called and the employees (whose names I neglected to get, I apologize) told me it had been found and was ready for me to pick up. I drove back to the Hoot Owl and they returned it with everything intact and refused any reward for doing so.

They have no idea what a relief it was to get it back! I would just like to say thank you to those two young men, and say how nice it was to have them be so concerned that everything was still there. Thank you, Hoot Owl employees! You were great!
