A Story About A Random Lady At The Costco Food Court
By a friend • August 22, 2025
I really wanted to share this with someone because it was just so amazing! For context I have a 2 month old baby.
So I went towards the tables of the food court after getting my food and I notice this older lady (not like senior age but older than me), I only noticed her because she looked like one of my teachers and I brushed it off.
We sit down and she congratulates us and asks how old she is. I leave to clean my hands because my boyfriend’s sundae dripped on my hands. I come back and she’s standing in front of the drink dispenser and stops me. I notice she has something that looks like a couple of ones tucked into her hand.
She says “I just want to congratulate you again. I don’t know why but the lord told me to give this to you”. She grabs my hand and doesn’t let me see what she’s giving me but tucks it into my palm. I’m so flustered I can barely say anything and we part ways.
I get back to my table with my boyfriend and baby and I’m telling him what happened and I look at what’s in my hand and at first based on the color and hand placement I thought it was a $5 bill, I move my thumb and realize it was $50! I was so shocked and almost in tears. We check if it’s real once we leave (it was).
The craziest part to me was what had to happen for me to even meet her. We waited about an hour before even going into Costco and it wasn’t long before closing. There was also another family with a newborn baby there. This was a complete stranger, I had never seen or met her ever in my life and haven’t seen her since. However I’m forever grateful.
She really inspired me to help others and she made my day.
