The Editor,
There are still Good Samaritans, especially in Coquitlam. A very grateful thank-you to the gentleman who paid for my groceries at IGA. Here’s my story:
I had spent all day with my son, who is very ill and in ICU at a local hospital. I went to my car, not parked in a marked residential area, and had a notification I would receive a parking ticket anyway.
I was so stressed but needed to go to the bank and get groceries. When I went to pay for the groceries, I didn’t have my debit card as I had left it in the bank machine. The cashier advised me to run back to the bank to retrieve my card. I did. Not there.
I returned for my groceries and the cashier said the gentleman behind me had paid for them. According to the cashier, the gentleman stated, “That’s my good deed for today.”
Indeed, it was.
