Lady has her card declined in a supermarket.

@tdelmas En effet, merci

@Geri Yes, me too. I don’t have kids. And I always think how awful it would be, not just for the mum, but for the child. I’m not super well off, but if I can spare someone that humiliation, I do - always.

@Remittancegirl @Geri I've done it.

@Geri That cap-wearing SoB should get a kick up his rear end. He's not a good example of a human being.

I haven't had a chance to be a good samaritan like that yet, but I'd do it.

@tdelmas I feared it might be.

Oh well.

@Remittancegirl @Geri I have done it too and I don't understand anyone who wouldn't if they know they can afford it.

@Geri something

My husband will do this sometimes, especially giving money to street musicians. Aggravating in the moment, but he's a great guy that's why I married him

@RandamuMaki

So, if there is any saving grace to the AI slop, it’s that it gives you the opportunity to decide in advance that, in that situation, this is what you’d do. Which is a good outcome.

@Geri

@Geri How easy it is to be a good person. And how effortlessly the other is an asshole.

@chris_e_simpson @Geri Here in the neighborhood I live in, a lot of people do it.

But also, I can’t tell you how often I have watched my greengrocer simply give them the fruits and veggies if their card gets declined. He always says… don’t worry. Next time.

@Remittancegirl @Geri I can't stop thinking about the guy in the hat. Imagine him telling the story to someone afterwards: "...so her card was declined and she asked for it to be scanned again and I told her, if you can't pay, just get out, but then this guy behind me paid for her instead."

And now I can't stop wondering if his next sentence would be:

1. Why didn't I just do that? Am I a bad person?
2. She'll never learn to live within her means that way.
3. Something sexist and or racist.

@tdelmas Is it AI? IDK Where is from IDK Where are the rules IDK? Who are you IDK?

@Remittancegirl I have given away lots of money to people who are worse off than me. People in the streets, all sorts xx

@Geri It is visibly AI. Well, you don't know where it's from, then maybe you should for the next time, please?
