Editor,
Last Wednesday, at around 8.30pm, I stopped at Woolworths to buy a few items, which came to approximately $19.50. When I came to pay at the checkout, my debit card was declined as was my credit card even though I knew there were sufficient funds in both accounts.
Unfortunately, I did not have enough cash to cover the purchases. As I started to jettison some of my purchases, the woman waiting behind me in the queue stepped up and said she would pay.
She kindly refused my request for her contact details, saying she had been in a similar situation and knew how I must be feeling. She simply asked that I return the favour if ever I saw someone in a similar predicament.
So, thank you, good Samaritan.
Rest assured, I won't forget your kindness and will be more than happy to help others in need.
