OT Unexpected kindness

I was at the supermarket this afternoon and I always look in the "sell by
date" bin as there are sometimes wonderful bargains to be had if you get
there just right. I freeze them.
I was out of luck, or so I thought. The bin was full of frozen rice, but
there was a supermarket employee marking down other stuff. I couldn't get
near because a woman was blocking it deliberately with her trolley, so I
walked away.
I hadn't gone far when a man, who I don't know from Adam, threw two packs of
outdoor reared pork chops and a pack of steaks (all reduced greatly in
price) into my trolley. I looked at him, amazed. I said "But don't you
want them yourself?" He said "No, I have enough.."
Isn't that just amazing?

Good for him for seeing what was going on and acting! Good for YOU for
deserving such a kindness. Shame of the greedy lady who was thinking only
of herself. It is really true that a small act of kindness can offset many
times its "weight" in meanness.

believe in random kindness et al.

Perhaps he wanted you to notice him! The next time you see him you can
thank him again. Good luck. MLB
