Crying at Winn Dixie. The woman in jeans stepped up and paid for the groceries of the young man in front of her whose card was declined. He was on the phone frantically trying to figure out how to get $$ to pay. “We all have times like this,” she said. People can be amazing ❤️

1. in Kansas there used to be a tradition. If you couldn't repay someone

for their kindness, then you did someone else a kindness to pay it forward. Pay it forward, young man, pay it forward.

2. My Spouse and I are proud to say.

We have done this many a time. Karma treats those whom share their goodness. The Smiles and thank you's are worth more than all the Groceries.

3. My wife did this last year in the States, too

She was in a grocery store in a small town on Cape Cod, and the woman in front of her wanted to pay for her baby formula with plastic. The store electronic payment system had broken down, and they announced they would have to go to cash only. The woman who needed the baby formula started crying because she ONLY had plastic. My wife, who despises plastic, and uses only cash when she can, stepped up and gave her the money, wouldn't give her name or address to be paid back ("I don't live in America, it's too complicated to send me $5" ).
