Hardware store employee refuses to cash his paychecks for 'religious reasons,' company threatens to take legal action: 'I'm wondering how he pays his bills'

Even after all this time, we still have the ability to surprise each other as humans. Even when we think we've seen it all… we haven't. People are usually so predictable. We have a general idea of what they're going to say, how they're going to act, and how they're going to dress. Sure, a few people may buck that system and do something totally unexpected, but not most of us, and not most of the time. We follow patterns and routines to the ground. We manage things on an even keel and keep the shock value to a minimum. 

But that doesn't stop someone from throwing convention right out the window when you least expect it. Like one person's coworker at their hardware store job. When they noticed a pile of envelopes in the break room, they couldn't help but start to ask some questions. But what followed was totally unexpected.
