we are standing in line to check out
fella behind us is an aged to perfection type
in a motorized wheelchair with his cane over the basket
all olive green attire , bet he was a ww2 vet is me
was struggling to get his groceries on the conveyor belt
so I decided to help him
he says thank you so much sir
about the time we were done I turned to the cashier and said let me pay his bill
well it started to get dicey , he says HEY what do you think your doing ?
I said paying for your groceries sir ! It is still a free country and I want to do it
the lady behind him smiled as did the cashier
he is still a little upset over it and I say it is my pleasure sir
we exchanged another word or 2 about it and he finally smiled big and said ok
NOW GET this part .....right when I put my card in the card reader
he says Hey ,I forgot something fella ....and he picked up his coffee can in a bag and shook it and said you could use some of my money if you need too ....
made me melt ,almost cried when I said no sir, I got this, as I loaded his basket back up ....
in a world of highly competitive everything , I am pretty sure I won the gold , just saying
he had $ 44 and some change worth of food items ...
bacon , sausage ,lettuce ,cabbage ,fruits and some other veggies , no junk involved
it was the best under $ 50 adventure ever, this is a FACT !
