My Pay It Forward Opportunity Backfired

By elisha • July 20, 2023

I was in the line behind a man who was making a small purchase. I heard the cashier ask if he had any cash on him or if there was anything else he wanted as the minimum eftpos was $5.

I stepped forward and told the lady to add his purchase to mine. She scanned my items, putting the total to about $8.

Then he reached over, tapped his card and said the business will pay for those!

My pay it forward opportunity backfired 😆

Such a small, simple gesture and I know we both walked away with a smile on our faces.
