This is one of the greatest things I have ever witnessed.
One night I while I was on register the power went out. At the time, I was checking out my (now ex) boyfriend's father (we'll call him Mr. M), and he had about a $20 order. Well, because the power went out, you were pretty much SOL if you didn't have cash with you because our card machines and check machines didn't work.
And of course, Mr. M. wanted to pay with a check and only had about $3 cash on him.
I felt horrible; this man's wife died about 5 years ago and both of his sons have moved out and he has nobody and he will occasionally give his sons money when they need it. He's such a sweet man who has had to deal with so much and now he has to deal with not being able to buy his food!
Suddenly a woman behind him says "I think I have some extra money . . . hang on . . . yeah . . " and hands him $5.
"Oh, wait, I think I have some too . . . here."
"How much more do you need? Hang on . . ."
"Umm . . . here . . . this is all I have, but this should help."
Together a bunch of other customers in my line were able to help Mr. M buy his groceries! I chipped in what little I had, but my customers were SO awesome! I wish I could have done something to thank them all!
Mr. M was so grateful. I would have been too!
