Yesterday Yahoo Sports reported on an incident at Qualcomm Stadium during a preseason game between the San Deigo Chargers and the San Francisco 49ers that gives me hope in human nature.

The article reports:

During the game at San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium, a Club Level server by the name of Heather Allison tripped on a stair, and all the money she’d taken in for the day — about $1,000 — flew out her hands and landed all over the area — on fans in attendance, under seats, and one level down in the lower field section.

As the money flew, the fans yelled that it was the server’s money. The story continues:

In the end, Allison got back every bit of the money she inadvertently lost, and pocketed $170 in tips for the evening after giving the concession company its cut. “It was all there,” she said. “Chargers fans are amazing. We’re like a family.”

San Deigo fans should be congratulated for their honesty and sense of fairness. Thank you fans for boosting my faith in my fellow man.
