Times are tough sometimes but we always have food, bills get paid, things just get lean. <br /><br />I would like to think I would have bought a gift card and had the clerk give it to the people once I left. Wonder if I really would have?Tamis Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478543041875155264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-81774954746457883242009-12-18T16:51:18.837-05:002009-12-18T16:51:18.837-05:00I would have paid for their groceries.
We don'...I would have paid for their groceries.<br /><br />We don't have a lot of money, but we "get by". And whenever we're a little better off than other times we always give back, any way, any how. You always have to give back.

I know it's because we have each other... A lot of people don't have that support system. We are incredibly lucky.<br /><br />Honestly, I would have left money with the cashier. Or I would have give the boy the money. Paying for their items would have embarrassed them.. I'm assuming. I would have given them all I could spare.<br /><br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-55397773641257489552009-12-18T07:57:28.128-05:002009-12-18T07:57:28.128-05:00All,

The only problem is that people often don't want what they see as charity; pride gets in the way. <br />I am curious; what did you do?Whitney Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766231420593480962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-67226154560737861332009-12-17T21:10:40.992-05:002009-12-17T21:10:40.992-05:00I can't say because I am only me, but I'd ...I can't say because I am only me, but I'd love to know what you did.Claudya Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034216831504207496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-44337448848351350332009-12-17T21:04:34.965-05:002009-12-17T21:04:34.965-05:00Great question..

I have been on both sides of this as well..(times are a bit more stressful this year due to our small business challenges, but still feeling blessed).<br /><br />I think the good in most of us would want to slip their items in with ours... and ring them all up on our tab...<br /><br />Or possibly leave some cash with the cashier to cover their items....like the "pay for the one behind me" act of kindness that is done elsewhere...<br /><br />We have payed secretly for a mother and sons meal at a restaurant, and know we were blessed as much as we hope they were.The Pink Geranium or Jan's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198239040764060238noreply@blogger.com
