Netizens praise Laundry Workers for Honesty amid the Harsh Effects of the Pandemic

Laundry workers Elsie Ramos and Margie Vistan, stealing is never an option even when an opportunity freely presents itself.

The pandemic has without doubt taken a toll on people’s livelihoods. Many are left unemployed hoping for something better to come their way. It seemed that they’ll have to wait a little longer because the coronavirus doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon. It is expected for the ones most affected by the health crisis to resort to crime just to get by. Theft for instance will be a common occurrence.

The two laundry workers were praised highly on social media after they returned the belongings of customers who forgot to take them out before getting their clothes washed.

Among the items were money bills, a lighter, and even a one peso coin.

According to Marlene Pineda-Carbungco, the owner of the LaBubbles Laundry Shop Sta Cruz located in Porac, Pampanga, other items returned not shown on social media included gadgets, jewelry, and more bills.

On the laundry shop’s facebook page, Marlene thanked Elsie and Margie for being honest and letting people know that they can be trusted.

Both the laundry workers said that the pandemic, no matter how brutal it has been so far, will not prompt them to steal other people’s money.

Social media users praised them non-stop, saying that there should be more honest individuals.
