A6, Big snow on East Coast last year, snomageddon they were calling it. Big lines at grocery stores with everyone stocking up. A couple in front of me in line, with a few young children in tow, had all their groceries scanned and were trying to pay. Card kept being rejected. They were clearly stressed and a language barrier between them and the cashier didn't help. The father looked defeated. Reached up an swiped my card and they were on their way. The look on their faces was worth 1000x the cost of the groceries. It took little effort on my part and I was glad to do it.
