One Tuesday, he noticed a veteran in a worn field jacket counting coins to buy a single carton of milk. The line grew restless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A man muttered insults, and a child asked why he was \u201cso poor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the least I can do,\u201d Johnny replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That night, management fined him fifty dollars for \u201cinterfering with customers.\u201d The penalty hurt, but he had no regrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When offered money, Johnny refused: \u201cYou can\u2019t put a price on doing the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
