So she starts crying and apologizing, I grab a paper and scribble a note, head in and when done the car is still there.
So I immediately head over to my PDR guy to get his number to give to the car owner, leave there and head to another store and I get a text, says “I’m the owner of the car your kid hit, don’t worry about it it’s fine and thanks for writing the letter, that was very nice”. I replied back thanks for understanding, showed the kids and went about my day thinking what a nice person to not try and hose me out of some cash since really, they could have.
FYI, my kids are well-trained with their doors and this is only the second time she has hit another car (first was no damage) in 5 years of opening her door by herself.
