I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said\u00a0\u201clet me call my husband real quick\u201d and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `\u201dYou know that was probably a scam, right?\u201d and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you\u2019re\u00a0\u201cscamming\u201d me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA scam\u201d people are fucking wild.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This happened to me, too. A woman had used WIC for the majority of her stuff (which I say from personal experience is such a long and embarrassing process) and to buy the remainder of her groceries, which included diapers and wipes, she used a card, and it got declined. I bought the other $30 of her groceries because hey, I\u2019ve been there, and now I\u2019m not. She was extremely emotional and began to cry and even hugged me. My mom called me on the drive home and could tell I had been crying myself, asked what was wrong, and when I told her what happened, she berated me for being \u201cduped.\u201d I couldn\u2019t believe she could be so disappointed in one of her children for doing something- nice? Is that the hill you want to die on? Getting mad about people needing groceries?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I once paid for a woman\u2019s bill at the vet\u2026it wasn\u2019t a big one, but she was trying to pay for some medication for her dog, and her card was declined. And her lip started trembling, and she says\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t get paid until Tuesday, would he be ok until then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

So I just told them to add the $20 something onto my bill, and I thought she was going to break down crying right there.<\/p>\n

And I don\u2019t care if it was a scam or not. Just do nice things for people sometimes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Do good recklessly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Throw kindness around like confetti!!!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been on both ends of this- giving and receiving. What goes around comes around. \u201cAs you sow, so shall you reap\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
