Grumpy Gifts In The Garden

I’m positioned out in the garden center. I have a bit of a line, and all of the customers have a decent number of items. A man with no cart or items walks up and stands a short distance away from the line. I give my current customer her total, and the man interrupts, pulling out a store return-funds card.

Man: “I got it. I’ll pay for it.” *Gestures to the next people in line* “You, too. I’ll pay for you.”

We all thank him profusely, but he just shrugs and rolls his eyes.

Man: “Well, it’s not like I can use it.”

That explained his generosity, then; he didn’t shop at my store often enough for the card to actually be of any value to him. He continued instructing me to use the card, finally saying that I could just use it until it ran out, and then he huffed out, grumbling to himself.

It’s the most generous thing I’ve ever seen a p*ssed-off person do.
