Just saw this over on Chippewa.com (The Chippewa Herald) – and wow. An anonymous resident walked into Gordy’s County Market last Friday and handed out $20 bills to random people – his goal was to give out $3,000 in total. He told the Herald, “We’ve been very fortunate, and we want to give it to people.” For the record, the guy’s not crazy, just really, really nice. From the story:

• [A $20 bill recipient] said, “I thought he was playing a joke for a second.”
• Another man who had recently lost his job refused to take the money because he said he didn’t want to take advantage of the donor.
• Gordy’s night manager Seth Walker said he’d never seen anyone handing out cash at the store before. He said people’s reaction to the man has been varied.
• “It’s been mixed. Some people say they think he’s crazy, Walker said.
• But since the man was simply helping people, he was allowed to stay inside the store.

It’s too bad we live in such a nutty time where even people in a town like Chippewa Falls are wary of such a good deed – that seems like New York City Talk. But who cares. That guy helped a lot of people buy groceries and he inspired some people to actually give him more money to hand out. And other fine citizens turned down the offering, saying others needed it more. So, wow, happy holidays everyone.
