Random Acts of Kindness Day came to an Asda branch on Thursday - and a woman was left speechless by just how nice a total stranger was.
Channel Wilson visited the superstore in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester, to pick up her prescription.
But the Manchester Evening News reports that she ran into trouble when she tried to collect at the pharmacy.
As the 25-year-old went to pay for her medication at the till, her card came up declined.
Then, when her Apple Watch also wouldn’t work, she got a tap on the shoulder.
Without knowing the total cost, a customer behind her offered to pay her bill.
Channel insisted she would repay the woman by transferring her the money - but she refused.
The shopper says she was completely taken aback by the kind gesture.
She said: “She didn’t even know the amount of the prescription it could have been multiple items.
“It was one but she didn’t know that and was willing to pay for my whole bill.
“She was so generous and kind and I said ‘No honestly, it’s fine, I’ll go and get my card from the car’ and she and tapped her card on the machine.
“I asked if I could transfer you the money and told me no and to go and enjoy my day.
“I just couldn’t believe how generous and kind she was.”
Random Acts of Kindness Week runs February 13 to February 19 this year, with Random Acts of Kindness Day falling on Thursday February 17.
It has been celebrated on this date since 1995.
It was originally started in Denver, US, but has since spread all around the world.
The aim and slogan is to #MakeKindnessTheNorm.
People have been taking to social media over the past few days, alerting others to the nice things strangers have been doing to brighten their day.
