Pay It Forward

On Sunday, July 27, 2025, my husband went into Chartley Country Store to purchase a couple of steaks to grill for dinner. I had given my husband a new credit card to pay for the steaks. Unbeknownst to him, the card was never activated with our bank. When he went to checkout he found this out. A line of customers began to form behind him, so he told the cashier to take care of the customers as he stepped outside to call me. While he was on the phone with me, a very nice, generous woman picked up the tab for the steaks. When he went inside, he was informed by the cashier that the steaks had been paid for. He went outside to stop the woman who had paid for the steaks as he wanted to give her the cash he had in his pocket (it was not the full amount of the steaks, but it was pretty close). She would not accept the cash and told my husband to "Pay it forward". Both my husband and I would like to sincerely thank this woman for her generosity and thoughtfulness. There should be more people like you in this world! We certainly will "pay this forward" when we encounter someone in need.

Again, THANK YOU!
