A Little Christmas Kindness

(I’m a cashier at a grocery store. It is Christmas Eve.)

Me: “Hi, how are you?”

Customer: “I’m fine; how are you?”

Me: “Awesome. Your total comes to $30.01 please.”

(While she is getting out a credit card, a man approaches me from behind, hands me forty dollars and says:)

Man: “Here. I’d like to pay for this woman’s groceries.”

Me: “Are you sure?”

Man: “Yes.”

Me: “Thank you so much! Ten dollars is your change.”

Customer: “Okay, here’s my card.”

Me: “Ma’am, a gentleman just came up and paid for your bill!”

Customer: *begins to cry* “There are still good people in this world!”
