Speaking to the Manchester Evening News , Chiraz, who lives in Leigh, said: “It was lovely; it was a really lovely gesture.
“You’re not used to it so I didn’t know what to do.
“They said ‘Go on, get something for yourself too,’ and they bought me a coffee.
“At first I felt a bit embarrassed but I thought it was so lovely and I’ll pass on the favour.”
Chiraz posted about the kind deed to a local Facebook group.
So far, it has racked up almost 1,000 likes.
It reads: ”I would just like to thank, the couple who was in the range, this afternoon. When I got to the till, it said cash only. I only had my card on me and my 20-month-old baby, wanted a drink and a snack.
“I was just going to leave it and they very kindly bought it for me and also got me a coffee. I could not believe the kindness.
“Sorry I did not get your names so hope this will reach you. Amazing. If everyone was like this the world would be a better place. I will be returning the favour when the opportunity arises. Thanks again.”
