Grocery Bagger Gives Elderly Woman $20 from Own Pocket So She Can Pay for Her Groceries
When someone goes above and beyond to help another human out of the kindness of their heart, that’s the sort of story we love to share!
One such kind human is from Massachusetts. Frederick works as a bagger at the Big Y World Class Market in Greenfield.
As he was bagging groceries for an elderly woman who was checking out, Frederick saw she didn’t have the money to pay for her entire order.
Another customer in line noticed, too. Big Y tweeted their story, explaining what a fine young man Frederick is, and how he kindly helped a woman in need.
“While I was checking out I noticed an elderly lady in the next lane who didn’t have enough money to pay for her order,” the anonymous customer told Big Y.
“The young gentleman who was bagging her groceries gave her $20 so she could pay for her order,” they continued.
Big Y added, “WOW — great job Frederick!”
“Helping one another is what it’s all about!” a commenter wrote.
We have to applaud him too. It takes a big man to pull cash from his own pocket and hand it to a stranger.
