“Thank you stranger”: Woolies shopper left stunned

A shopper at Woolworths was left shocked after a cashier’s unexpected act at the checkout.

The single mum shared her feel-good story in a post on Facebook.

“There was such a beautiful young lady working the checkout register tonight,” she wrote in the post.

“I had a rough day, and when she asked how my day was, I answered with: ‘Not a great one’.”

The mum-of-three was paying for her groceries with vouchers she’d been gifted from friends who wanted to “lend a hand” as her family was struggling.

After she put her shop through the checkout, the vouchers didn’t cover the entire cost, so she asked the cashier to take a bag of bread rolls off the total.

The Woolies worker surprised the mum by covering the cost of the bread rolls herself. 

“I don’t recall her name, but I feel that she deserves a massive thank you, as she made my day and turned it around with her kindness,” the mum said.

“So thank you stranger - you made an old tired mum have faith there’s still kindness in the world.” 

Woolworths responded to the mum’s Facebook post and said they would share her feedback with the store’s management team so the staff member can be acknowledged for her random act of kindness.
