Florida woman: [View all]

Crying at Winn Dixie. The woman in jeans stepped up and paid for the groceries of the young man in front of her whose card was declined. He was on the phone frantically trying to figure out how to get $$ to pay. “We all have times like this,” she said. People can be amazing

Also, for the record since this is important apparently, the Claws + milk + flowers are mine; the flour and spices are hers; the young man’s groceries were already bagged and he had almost $75 worth of items, including baby food.
