A long overdue âThank Youâ goes out to the man who paid for groceries for a lady at Stokes during the holidays. âI went to Stokes on a Wednesday afternoon to buy a few things for Thanksgiving. There were tons of people there and they were very busy. The cashier finished totaling up my groceries for around $35. When I was reaching into my purse to get out the money, a man, in his 50s or 60s, who wasnât in line, seemed to come out of nowhere, stepped up to the card machine, stuck in his card and said to me âHere, Iâll take care of that for you,â and quickly walked away after the transaction was completed. I just stood there shocked. He wore a mask so I didnât recognize him. I asked the cashier if she knew who it was. She didnât. I wished I had thanked him. So I hope he reads this column so I can say THANK YOU! Because I didnât thank him, itâs helped me be more aware to now pass it forward by looking for people for me to help, too,�
