• A Pennsylvania shopper took home one heck of a gift-with-purchase: the cashier's diamond wedding ring.
Cindy Tristani, a cashier at a Burlington in Uniontown, told WPXI-TV that she looked down during her shift and realized her ring was gone.
Her co-workers joined her in a panicked search, but found nothing.
In what she called "a long shot," Tristani posted on a local Facebook group's page: "If anyone was shopping at Burlington Uniontown today, I think my diamond ring might have fell in someone's bag."
This all happened on Tristani's mother's birthday -- "She's been dead for three years, but she could always find anything" -- so the cashier included a plea to her mom in a quick prayer before getting back to work.
Lo and behold, customer Cait Giles checked Facebook on the way home (no, she wasn't driving), saw the post and checked her shopping bags.
Jackpot!
Returning the missing ring "made my heart so full," Giles said. "It was the best moment." [WPXI-TV, 3/29/24]
