Carrie Chisholm had had a really bad day. The final thing to go wrong? She found herself without her purse when she drove up to pay for her now five-year-old son Hughes’ dinner at Chick-fil-a.
Instead of turning her away, though, the cashier spoke to her manager, who told Chisholm the meal was on the house.

Unknowingly in need of kindness. They knew what they were doing; they just didn't know why it was such a blessing to the woman.
I know.
The headline is crap.
The restaurant manager do not “unknowingly” give her the meal.
Great story, but I always wonder how these stories make the news. Was there a reporter in the line already?
Who sees other taking advantage of them?
No it isn’t. How did this happen “Unknowingly”?
It is well known that the customer had no means to pay and the business covered it.
At least the customer didn’t call them ahead of time and tell them about the free lunch they were to provide.
I guess that’s “Unknowingly”.
I must be psychic or something or has Freeper reading comprehension fallen off the cliff? I got what CFA did from the headline.
“The restaurant manager do not “
You should at least use proper grammar when criticizing others for their poor grammar ...
“In that ye did it unto the least of these, ye did it unto me.” Jesus
I should also profproof-read my posts before filing them.
Maybe that’s why we see em lined up at the Chick-fila drive through.
PS - Technically, I was not criticizing the writer’s grammar. I was criticizing the writer’s word choice.
The title suggests that Chick-fil-A has no idea whether they helped or not.
It is a rabid libtard that wrote that lead.
Our local Chick-fil-A is always empty.
I sure wish we had one...
“PS - Technically, I was not criticizing the writer’s grammar. I was criticizing the writer’s word choice.”
Uh, technically, grammar includes the choice and place of words in a phrase or sentence.
“It is a rabid libtard that wrote that lead.”
Perhaps it was just your average high school graduate. I don’t understand why so many are riled when Yahoo does a good story.
Uh, no, it doesn’t.
One can form a grammatically correct statement which is nonsensical or incorrect based on word choice.
The use of the word “unknowingly” in the headline was a stupid and factually incorrect choice (with possible undertones of bias) - but from a grammatical standpoint it was correctly composed and situated.
My apologies, I didn't realize it was Yahoo.
Whatever ...
If you insist ....
It is better to use correct grammar when criticizing the construction of another’s sentence.
From the article, "To thank them for their kindness, Chisholm took to Facebook and posted the receipt for the meal to the Asheville, North Carolina Chick-fil-a’s page."
