I had a similar thing happen to me at the grocery store. There was an elderly Asian man buying Bananas that were about to go bad. You know the ones in the plastic wrap that they seperate from the fresh bananas and put on the clearance rack. Anyways they were like $1.19 or something like that and the old man was counting out his nickles and pennies to pay for the bananas.
It was clear that he didnt have the money in change to pay for the bananas and he looked at the check out lady with a face like, "Ok what do I do now? I dont have the money."
I already had my wallet out because I was just getting a case of water and got out a buck and handed it to the cashier. Thinking I was doing the right thing because all this guy wanted was some soon to go bad bananas and a buck to him would probably be worth more than it would be to me. So she took the buck and showed the man that there was now enought money. He took the dollar and handed it back to me.
He then proceeded to take the change on the counter and put it back in his pocket and from his other pocket pulled out, I would estimate, about $5000 in cash. I mean it was just a stack of $100s and $50s and $20s. So he handed her a $20 and she checked it to make sure it was real and he got his bananas and left.
Man I felt like shit after that for insulting that old guy.
