Today, during my lunch break, I went to Aldi to pick up a few things for lunch and snacks to have at work. As I was packing my items, I heard the cashier say, “I’m sorry, your card didn’t go through.” I looked over and saw an older lady trying her card again, but it still didn’t work. She then said she’d count her cash to see what she had, but sadly, she didn’t have enough.
It really broke my heart to watch her walk out to see if she had more money in her car. I turned to the cashier and asked, “How much does she owe?” The cashier said, “$19.75.” Without thinking much, I grabbed a $20 bill from my wallet and handed it to the lady. I also took her cart (leaving my own items behind) to make sure she could get what she needed.
It’s these small acts of kindness that can make the world a better place. The smile she gave me when I handed her the cart was truly heartwarming. Let’s all try to do more kind things for others and #PayItForward. ❤️
