I have a couple of questions about the Bangladesh immigrant cabbie in NYC who returned a display case with thousands of dollars of diamonds, even after the lady had given him only a 30-cent tip.
"All my life, I tried to be honest," said Osman Chowdhury, a native of Bangladesh. "Today is no different. I'm proud of what I did so that people know New York taxi drivers are honest." He spent time and money finding the lady, who is from Dallas; and returned the diamonds.
She had given him a 30 CENT tip on fare in NYC, and offered him a $100 reward when he contacted her.
#1) What do you think about his honesty, and how does it make you view immigrants?
#2) What do you think of the woman giving him a 30 CENT tip, and of her $100 reward?
IMO, I am impressed at his honesty; and, I am appalled at her mizerliness. A 30 CENT tip, then only $100 reward for thousands of $$$ in diamonds? The guy rents his cab. I think she should buy him one!
