Confusion at the check out.
Have I ever told you about the elderly man we were behind at the checkout? He had a tiny amount of groceries on the belt and was trying to pay for his groceries by giving the young operator his deposit book. The operator was confused and so was the gentleman. So we paid for his groceries, while he kept saying I will pay you back – we told him it was ok they were on us. The checkout operator was blown away and said that was really nice.
We still think about him though and feel sad, obviously he hadn’t done the groceries for a while and perhaps had lost a loved one that had done that previously. Afterwards we saw him sitting on a chair within the centre and often wish we had done more to help him. – Amanda 🙂
What a great thing to do.. I hope the next encounter he has buying groceries goes better for him..
