It’s chèque, it’s CB

Passing through the cash register on Friday, April 22, with milk, canned goods and some treats for his dog, a retiree gives the hostess a check to pay his bill, which amounts to 32 euros.

His check being refused by the platform, the cashier then offers the man to put his products aside, while he goes to get his bank card. “All sheepish, I confessed to him that it would not pass, my account being in debt…”, he tells our colleagues.

“Gift, it’s Christmas”

As he undertakes to return his products and leave empty-handed, a customer, attending the scene, offers to pay for his shopping. Moved, the pensioner asks his generous benefactress for his address “to reimburse her” but the latter then replies “Gift, it’s Christmas”.

It was the retiree himself who wrote to Free Charente to share his story, prove “that there are still people in this world with a big heart” and thus “warmly thank” his benefactress. “For my part, I feel very unworthy to have benefited from it. Maybe my age and my great panic affected them, ”he concludes.
