Good Samaritan pays woman's $65 grocery bill

OGDEN -- An Ogden woman cannot believe a stranger paid her $65 bill at the grocery store.
The Ogden Standard-Examiner reports it happened around 8 p.m. Friday at the Albertsons at 20th Street and Harrison Boulevard.
Frances Martinez reached the register but had a problem with her debit card. She stepped aside to call the bank. She says when she came back, the checker had surprising news.
"She goes, ‘The lady behind you paid for all your groceries; $65 worth.' I said, ‘Who was it? What does she look like?'" Martinez said.
But the woman was gone. The checker said all the Good Samaritan asked was that Martinez smile at four people.
Martinez tells the Standard-Examiner she went home and cried. "That doesn't happen, hardly ever. Now with the economy so bad, it's wonderful that someone would do that," Martinez said.
