Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Grocery store ripples come back around


--by foodbankcarlisa, posted Jan 2, 2016
I run a community kitchen so as you can well imagine I stay in the grocery store all the time. Most of my shopping is done early morning before I go to work.

One Wednesday morning I noticed a lot of good sales were going on so I decided to buy quite a few items to take advantage of the savings. The next day I visited the same store in the afternoon and when I got to the cashier she turned out to be a local college student that I knew. 

After she added my groceries and I paid her my change was $10.48 I told her to keep it as I knew she was having a hard time. Suddenly, I heard my name being called by the lady in customer service asking me to come to her window for a moment. 

I went over and she handed me $17.13 and told me that on Wednesday when I purchased some sale items I was not charged the sale price and she was refunding me the amount that I overpaid.

Even though it was my own money I was given a chance to see how the cashier and others felt when it happened to them. Wow! What a feeling! A feeling that I will share with many others.
