Okay my story isn't nearly as grand but last week I stopped in at the dollar store to pick up some christmas boxes. There was a young woman in front of me in line, she seemed to be purchasing some birthday gift items and her debit card was denied, twice. I could tell by her body language and the way she was talking on the phone after she stepped away from the counter that this was extremely distressing. I ask the clerk what her total way (less than $5) so I handed the clerk a $5 to cover it. The young woman looked so surprised. I just smiled and said merry christmas, go enjoy your day. I was warm the entire bike ride home.
