A message of hope at the heart of an increasingly individualistic society: In this Intermarché d’Angoulême, a woman has paid the bill for a pensioner who has been exposed. The scene moved both the supermarket customers and the old man, who began to cry.
The scene took place on Friday, April 22. Arriving at the cash register, a customer of the Intermarché d’Angoulême sees that the platform refuses to pay by check. “The cashier then offered to keep my purchases until I returned with my bank card, he wrote in an email sent to the Charente Libre. I sheepishly confessed to him that it wouldn’t go through, because my account was in debt…’† Visibly embarrassed, the man then offers to return the products: milk, some preserves and treats for his dog.
On arrival, a customer offers to pay the bill of 32 euros with her own bank card. Gratefully, the old man asks her for her address to reimburse her. † She said to me: gift, it’s Christmas “. A Christmas present at Easter that moves the retiree: he begins to cry.
“Reciprocal tears. So much so that the cashier told us, stop, you’re going to make us all cry.”
Free Charente
Still astonished at this unexpected gift, the man sent a daily email to the ward during the day. He wanted to thank his generous donor: proof, according to him, that there are still people in this world who have their hearts in their hands.
A scene of mutual aid that people started talking about: a smile that spreads like wildfire in everyday banality.
