We arrived in Washington, DC and the first thing we wanted to do was stop to get groceries at the grocery store.
Once we gathered our items,
we headed to the checkout and got in line. For some reason all the other lines were very crowded but we hadn't realized that the guy in front of us was having trouble paying. It seemed like forever, and nobody lined up behind us as it was clear this man was taking so long to pay. This didn't bother us so we waited on him to finish. Finally, he was able to pay. After he finished, he said "come on scan your items -- it's on me."
I was very happy and grateful. We talked with him while everyone else finished. He told us we were very patient with him and that he thought that it was nice of us. I told him that it was even nicer of him to have paid for our food.

It is such a rushed area that people rarely take the time to slow down, see each other as fellow travelers, and simply be patient. Good for you!
