urgh.... here is the story..
I was doing a bit of light shopping in a supermarket when out of nowhere a man in a wheelchair approached me. English was obviously not his first language and he seemed to have a learning disability. He asked for £1.90 to help pay for a ready meal and some hot cross buns he was holding on his lap. I gave him 30p loose change as I didn't have any cash on me. He looked so disappointed that he didn't have enough money, I felt so sorry for him that I offered to buy the ready meal for him. It was only £2.90 anyway. After i paid for it he asked for the receipt took the meal and barely said "thank you". i brushed it off but felt satisfied that i had helped someone in need. I finished off my shopping and decided to buy a magazine near the customer service desk when I turned around and saw the man in the wheelchair queuing up with the meal and receipt in his hand. The penny dropped then, . The thing is I used my debit card to pay for his meal. when he saw me he wheeled away. I saw the manager, and had a queit word in her ear, to not give this man a refund as it was with my debit card. He was hanging around at the exit waiting for me to go! Just makes me really mad that people can stoop so low like that. I'm going to have to be more streetwise in future...!
