MISSION: Presents from Pier 1

I feel as though I’ll be going through my inbox for years and finding missions that never got posted around the time they were completed. But, as I always say, better late than never!

Here’s the first mission completed by Affiliated Agent J of Pittsburgh!

DATE:
Wednesday, 4 August 2010

OPERATIVE:
Affiliated Agent J

LOCATION:
Barnes & Noble
Monroeville, PA (outside of Pittsburgh)

TIME:
just before lunchtime

Hi SAL,

I completed my very first random act of kindness today (8/4). I found three cute photo holders at Pier 1 (while I was looking for my very own flying pig as given out by one of the other affiliated agents). I though they would make a cute gift for someone so I wrapped them up and added a note on the front similar to what I’ve seen others do (“This is for you, yes you”) and put the Secret Agent L business card with the gift as well. I was having a difficult time trying to determine where I could leave my gift as well as photograph it without getting caught. I finally decided on the Barnes & Noble in Monroeville just before lunch time. I put the gift in the diet/wellness section because I figure anyone that is looking for a book in this section might like a pick-me-up. When I placed the gift on the shelf, I quickly snuck my camera out and took the photo. I waited around for a bit in a nearby section to see if anyone wandered over, but no one did and I figured I better get back to work. Next time I’d like to actually be able to see a reaction.

Can’t wait for the next time.

This is a great mission! Thanks, Affiliated Agent J!

By the way, I’ve been thinking lately about the post-9/11 age we currently find ourselves living in, so I’m asking that when Affiliated Agents are completing future missions, please not wrap gifts or place them in gift bags. This is just a safety precaution, as we don’t want to cause anyone any unnecessary worry or suspicion.  Thank you for understanding!
