A Normal Day at the Grocery Store Turns into Something Bigger

Share!

Brittany, a Peachtree City mom, was doing some routine grocery shopping at the local Wal Mart. This is a mother of 5 kids all under age 10. She had her two youngest with her, Ashlynn is almost 3 and Danen is just a week old. Brittany was tired and ready to get home with her car full of groceries. Brittany said, “I had the baby in his car seat in the cart. Ashlynn wanted to be in the cart too. Ashlynn also wanted a quarter to get some skittles from the candy machine. Danen was fussing, it was time to feed him.”

“I rolled the cart over to the bags and I got ready to pay. I opened my wallet and saw that I didn’t have any of my cards or cash. My heart dropped. I realized my mom (who had used my cards to buy groceries while babysitting the week before) hadn’t put my cards back. I told the cashier I didn’t have my debit cards and said ‘I am so sorry, can you save my groceries for me?’ She said she’d hold the transaction and asked if I could come back within the hour. She had to wait for a manager.”

2 Kids, a Cart full of Groceries, and No Money

“I stood nearby with the cart, let Ashlynn go to the game center and I called my husband to see if he could bring me his card. Danen was fussing, it was time to nurse him and it’d take me forever to go home, feed him, and grab my cards before I could come back. Danen is only a week old so I need to feed him on demand. I didn’t know what to do. I had to be back before my older kids got home from school or I would most likely have to get the food all over again with my five kids in tow. I was feeling yucky, my body ached because I hadn’t gotten any sleep the night before and then had to take Danen to his Dr. appointment that morning.”

“The cashier came back and gave me a receipt that said NOT PAID at the top and said to come back soon. I walked over to the Game Center, not sure what to do. My husband, who was at Earl's Quality Car Care said he would come as fast as he could with his card so I didn’t have to go home and back, which meant 5-20 minutes. I had to feed this baby! I wasn’t sure what to do.”

Miraculous Service Saved the Day!

Brittany said that as she stood near the Game Center with her kids contemplating what to do, “the cashier came running up to me with my cart and groceries and said ‘the lady behind you just paid for your groceries!’ and handed me the receipt. I looked for her so I could go thank her. She was a young mom like me, blonde with workout clothes and a young daughter. I scooped the kids back into the cart and hurried over to her and said how much I appreciated her generosity. She said it was no problem at all and the baby was so cute. I said thank you a million times over, even Ashlynn said, ‘thanks!’ She said not to worry about it at all. I explained why I didn’t have my cards. I got a little teary eyed and wanted to hug her but thought it may seem weird. I said thanks again, and she insisted it was no problem.

"She was so kind and emulated goodness. I walked away in total amazement. I called my husband right away to tell him he didn’t need to come anymore. I started crying saying I wanted to do something for her in return, but didn’t know what or how. He asked if I got her information, but when I turned to look for her, she was gone.”
