like a good neighbor

Went to the grocery store after work today. Had to pick up two things , well actually just one thing but two of them, should have been an in and out trip. I grab the items and head to the self checkout area. Two of the four machines are "out of order" and another is being used by a man with two grocery carts full of merchandise which leaves one machine for the 3 people waiting in line in front of me. As I wait in line the lady in front of me turns around and asks me "do you have your savings card with you?" I realized I didn't have it on me, I stopped carrying my wallet a few weeks ago, just carry a card holder with my lisence, debit card and some business cards. This upsets me for two reasons : one being that I would not benefit from the savings and two is that here is a chance to be a good neighbor and help someone out. I had been informed earlier that it was "be kind to your neighbor" day and also we had been bombarded with "the good Samaritan" lesson from a few different sources in the past two weeks. Alas this would not be my time to help someone out. Finally it was the lady's turn at the checkout machine. She rang up all her stuff and then hit the "help" button. We had to wait for about 3 minutes for someone to come and swipe their card for her. She paid and was on her way. Finally my turn, I step up to the register and notice that she left her bags there. So I got my chance to help out afterall. I chased her out and gave her her bags. Of course when I got back the man behind me was just about to start his check out, but let me have my place back.
