I was waiting in line to pay for my groceries while
maintaining my six-foot distance from everyone, when this older man suddenly cut
in front of me. He didn't appear to notice me at all. I didn't say anything. I
just maintained my distance. When it was
time for him to pay, he reached in his back pocket and pulled out a small note
pad. He had forgotten his wallet. He looked a bit disappointed and embarrassed.
I stepped up and told the cashier I would take care of his groceries, which
consisted of a carton of milk and a package of chocolate chip cookies. He was more than grateful. He thanked me and
off he went. The cashier, who’d seen everything, said, “He cut you off and you
paid for his groceries! Why?” “I replied, “I hope that if one day my dad
forgets his wallet, someone will step up and buy his milk and cookies.” – Danny
