Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Smile Filled Shopping Surprise


--by jbehappy, posted Jun 24, 2012

I was shopping at a store and passed by a shopper who smiled at me. As we shopped, we kept ending up in the same aisle. When I got to the check out counter, she was right in front of me.

She checked out and left. Then I checked out and left.

As I walked back to my car, I noticed that she was just getting into her truck nearby. I called to her to wait a second. 

"What happened?" she asked.

"Nothing," I smiled. "It's your lucky day!"

I handed her a Smile Card with 10 dollars and said, "You seem like a very nice person. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"

Then I added, "Maybe yourself some lunch or something!"

Beaming the biggest smile, she responded, "I don't believe this!"

I walked away with an even bigger smile!!
