[...] Hazzard, who bought groceries for a woman at Trader Joe’s who’d forgotten her wallet (Facebook Friends Pay it Forward) [...]

Another great story! I have SO been there at the checkout and realized I didn’t have my credit card. In my case, the cashier agreed to put my groceries aside so I could run home and retrieve my wallet. But it’s really mortifying to find yourself in that position, and I’m so glad that Hazard and Ware were able to turn it into something positive.

Usually you only hear this kind of story during the holidays. Thanks for sharing it with us. I wish more people behaved this way, especially during such tough times.

Oh Jennifer, this post made my day. Thank you so much.

And oddly enough, I grew up in Redwood City.

I love this story, it’s kind of a domino effect of human kindness

That’s a very sweet story. I love the idea of random acts of kindness. There’s a scene in a Ramona book where a kindly older gentleman pays for the family’s burgers. He doesn’t know how much they need the help (it’s the only time they’ve gone out to eat in a year, and they can’t really afford it) but the reader does. That scene makes me cry every time.

I like to teach my kids to do the same. I guess it goes back to the golden rule, “Do unto others…”

Not that my efforts come anywhere close to Hazard’s but I like to leave the quarter in my cart at the grocery stores that require that you put money in before retrieving your cart. I hope it makes someone’s day not to have to fish one out of their wallet.
