Dear Woman In Line

By anonymous • June 7, 2017

I was struggling at the register "insufficient funds" kept popping up on the screen.

And my anxiety was kicking in so I kept putting in the wrong pin number.

The trainee at the register was getting annoyed and so was her trainer.

And you saw my struggles and helped me out by paying what I couldn't with the money I had in my pockets.

I thanked you and have you a warm handshake and headed out crying from gratefulness, relief and happiness. You said this was nothing , you had gone through the same thing before and smiled.

What you probably didn't know is that I live I poverty and this could've meant that we wouldn't have enough food on the table to feed ourselves. Thank you so much for your kindness, I do hope someday I can do this too and help someone the same way you have helped me.
