I was at Walmart yesterday afternoon, I had just deposited some money from my boyfriend to go get groceries for me, my 3 kids and dog. I proceeded to get my groceries and some dog food. I went to the self check out as standing in line in a busy store affects my anxiety. The clerk was very kind in helping me do my order (even though it was over 20 items) wish I had her name cuz she helped me too. When I went to pay for my groceries of 148$ my bank card was declined. I tried again! DECLINED AGAIN!!
This was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life, the clerk let me use her personal cell phone to call my bank (as mine was of course dead); they couldn't explain why my money had been taken out of my account and switched me through 5 different people. As I sat there in tears (being watched by strangers) having a panic attack on the phone with the run around; someone tapped me on the shoulder and said "hang up the phone sweetheart, let me help you get ur groceries in ur car!" Hunh?! What?! Yes, he had just asked the clerk to let him pay and DID. I then explained (while bawling that I had no way home) He then proceeded to say "alright let's go, stop crying, it's gonna be ok, you have food now for ur kids!"
DAVID thank you from the bottom of my heart, my children and I are forever thankful and appreciative for your kind and thoughful gesture and your kind words on the ride home. You've shown me that there are still good people out there and that it still makes a difference even if you help just one person at a time. I promise that once I'm in a position to, I will pay it forward (since you refused to allow me to repay u on payday). It's honestly one of the kindest things anyone has ever done for me. May God bless ur kind heart for putting you in Walmart on that day, at that moment in time. You're an awesome human being and a great example of what we should all be like! David was a hero for that moment, so thank you again. :')
