At store getting snack stuff & juice.
Woman & about 6 year old boy behind me & he grabbed a bag of Skittles. She said no, because she couldn't afford with work closed.
He had already put it on the belt, and I just slid it to my juice bottles. Then, once it was scanned, I grabbed it & gave it to him.
I just said "Be a good boy for mom.". His mom seemed happy. So did he.
I know. It was just a buck.
