Ashley Jordan is a stay-at-home mother of five who usually hates grocery shopping: the lines always feel chaotic, especially when she brings her children, and the bill can often be more than her family can afford.
But on Saturday, reports WISTV, she was pleasantly surprised by the actions of a Walmart cashier named Sharnique Dasant.
Jordan wrote on Facebook that she normally doesn't engage with people at her local store in Columbia, South Carolina, but this time the woman behind the counter was friendly and conversational.
After all of the items had been scanned, Jordan started digging around the corners of her purse to pay for the bill. It was obvious that the mom was struggling to find the amount needed. Jordan wrote that she felt a little embarrassed:
“She gave me a smile and said you guys look like you need a blessing tonight. I just smiled back.”
Then Dasant walked around the register and paid for half of the grocery bill.

Willy Wonka's character quoted many writers in the movie.
There's an internet page that sources where they came from.

I heard that Friday was supposed to be “Random Acts Of Kindness Day”. But to be truly random you can do them any day.

Imagine a free lunch or dinner being given to the guy who gave you a free lunch. And a free lunch being then given to THAT guy, and ON AND ON to infinity. That’s MY kind of economy.(Of course, what I’m describing is a kind of secular Karma)

Curious how this became a news story. Not cynical, just curious.

41 And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny.[a] 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.
