The person he bypassed didn't utter a word, simply maintained the appropriate distance.
When it came time for the man to settle the bill, he reached into his back pocket and retrieved a small notepad. He had forgotten his wallet.
He looked a bit disappointed and embarrassed. The person he skipped stepped up and told the cashier they’d take care of his groceries. (Which only consisted of Milk and Chocolate Chip Cookies.)
He was more than grateful. He kindly thanked them and off the man went.
Upon arrival to the register, the cashier asked: "He cut you off and you paid for his groceries. Why??"
"They calmly replied with a smile: “I hope that if one day my dad forgets his wallet, someone will step up and buy his Milk and Cookies."
With all the negativity going on in the world. I thought it would be nice to share this moment.
A little kindness goes a long way. Why not pay it forward?
