I expected the worst today when I went grocery shopping

A situation like this always seems to bring out the best in some and the worst in others. It is represented here in this thread.

Sounds like a curse to me.

No way am I gonna buy some random fools groceries.

You mean you want to believe it and that if they just so happen to setup a gofund me for it, you would line up to donate?

jk, not really but seriously.

This is a nice thread. We need this.

One time I gave a little girl a quarter for the bubble gum machine and she said "thank you mister." I said, "no problem." I then told her a joke. I asked "What's the most effective way to remove sticky chewing gum from your hair?" She said, "I don't know." I replied "Cancer!" She started crying. Long story short, she had cancer.

I am noticing that this emergency is IN FACT "softening"
many people.

This happened to me today as well. I'm under lock-down
in my city...everything is closed except about 4 grocery
stores in the whole town (rural pacific NW)...and I'm
just scared to venture out to shop (extenuating circumstances)
so I called our local Ace Hardware and talked to the manager.

I told him I KNEW the grocery stores have ZERO PROGRAMS in
place to deliver...but I have 2 puppies that need puppy
pads and food since I have run out of my stock. I'm using
bed sheets to help with their training but geeze...that's
NOT working. I pleaded that I could purchase these things
over the phone on my credit card and maybe some kind soul
at the store could take time to deliver them.

He was immediately receptive and we had this great conversation
you just would NOT expect from "management." lol!

He had someone at my door in 2 hours with the supplies
I needed for my fur family--with complimentary T.P. rolls
just to cheer me up! (That's not store policy of course.)

So...there it is...Random acts of kindness linked with
Op's thread title about "fear of grocery shopping!"

I will pay it forward as well.


S.P.Pug

Why in God's name are people arguing with the OP?

I have been in line and an elderly person in front of me didn't have enough cash to pay for all of her groceries.

I bought them for her. What is so difficult about that?

If I have done over twenty upgrades for others here at GLP, paying for someone's groceries is easy.

And is how we are supposed to be--helping others.

Maybe because you both don't understand giving and gratitude

P.S. Writhe in hell you sickly wurms :)

Some random dumb women looking for attention

And you make a point to mention it every chance you get

I have the right to show my breasts in the store

Woman. Woman, women is plural

K cocksucker ? Thanks

How often in your life have you been a random fool to OTHERS... Like you look like that just now perhaps to some HERE.

rock on brothah!

Today I drove around in my golf cart and gave handmade masks to strangers tomorrow we’re gonna do it again

People like those upgrades! If you had a registered account you could even win an upgrade contest.

We were going to run another upgrade contest this weekend, CosmicGypsyies Idea. But she needs to work so it is put off until another time.

Exactly!! I'm rather surprised how many of them just don't understand doing kind things for others.

Some lady did that for me.It was about $25.The checker had seen her do it before.Mohave county,Az.

Let me post a bitcoin address, you can kindly send me 100$ worth of bitcoin whenever you feel like I'm fumbling with something for too long.

Lol wut ?

we had toast and butter for our meal...no home delivery till may

did you throw the masks at people from six feet away???

Possible. My very handsome son plays violin Christmas music around the holidays and receives tips in his violin case. One time a cute nicely dressed, but not fancy, little, old, African American woman stopped to hear him play outside Spout grocery store. She asked him his story and what he needed tips for. My son has autism and is limited verbal. So it is hard to have a conversation with him. Although, he can speak and advocate his simple needs.

I got out of my car as she seemed upset that my son didn't answer her questions. I thought maybe she was with CPS and thought I was exploiting my son who is disabled. I just explained to her that he likes to play and put on concerts. He does not get much, maybe between $20 and 40$ and he uses it to go to the movies, eat out and buy stuff.

She said he played well and that she had worked in the music business for 60 years. She asked him what he wanted and he rattled off, Fiesta Texas season passes, pool membership, and named some video games. She said wait right here. I thought she was going to call the cops. Instead, she came back and gave him $1,000.00 ( one thousand dollars). I was so shocked and speechless that I even forgot to ask her name. I just hugged her and we both thanked her.

Next thing I knew she asked me for directions to Babcock Road because she was not from this area and just pop into the store to grab some things. I point and said go straight down that rod you will run into it in about 3 or four stoplights. And she was gone.

So these things do happen. When they do you are left in awe as if angles really do exist.

Wow! Good for her and Good for you... that's awesome.

Just think if EVERYONE acted with kindness and love how much better this world would be.

Simple and small acts of kindness can go a long way.

Lovely!
