FUNNY STORY by our member Shirley: Shirley went to Shoprite on Wednesday to pick up water & iced tea for the meeting. When she went to the self service to pay, the machine wouldn’t accept her cash so she hit the button & called for help. The cashier couldn’t figure out why the light wouldn’t come on & accept her money. A young man at the register next to Shirley decided to help her out….and slipped his credit card into the machine & paid the $5.34 for OUR drinks! He refused to be reimbursed by Shirley. How wonderful to experience the kindness of others!!! Thanks for sharing your story, Shirley!
