According to Becky Loos, she had already shopped, and the items she picked were scanned by the cashier when she realised she had left her wallet in her child’s diaper bag.

Missing wallet

“After I couldn't find my wallet, the cashier and bagger graciously offered to suspend my order and put all my perishable items in a cooler so I could run home to get my wallet,” she said.

However, according to the mum, she lives more than 20 minutes away from the store and by the time she made it back, more than an hour would have passed.

“It was already 7:00 and we still needed to eat dinner. I succumbed to the fact I would have to put an order in online and pick it up the following day,” she stated.

Loos explained feeling defeated as she had a lot to deal with at home since her husband had travelled.

“My son, who just got done helping me put everything on the conveyor belt, kept asking what was wrong.

"In my frustration and anger (toward myself), I said I didn’t have my wallet, and we had to leave,” she stated.

At that point, a man named Barry overheard the conversation and stepped in to lend a helping hand.

According to Loos, Barry inquired about the total amount, but she refused. However, he insisted, and she let him pay for it.

Barry then told her that he had been in a similar situation, and his late wife would have wanted him to help her.

He told her:

“My wife recently died and if she were here, she'd want me to help you. So, I'm doing it for her, too.”

A grateful Loos wrote:

“He was my saving grace this evening. He's a reminder that there's plenty of good out there."

Another kind stranger

He said that he was in the shop when a little girl asked her mother what is wrong when she saw her mother’s eyes heavy with tears.

In response and with an emotion-laden voice, the mother told the girl that they cannot afford to eat that night.
