His kindness is appreciated

On March 18, my wife and I were shopping at the Save Mart store at West and Ashlan avenues. We were having very nice conversations with a fellow shopper named Jack.

When we got to the check-out register and my wife was getting ready to pay, Jack said, “I want to pay for your purchases.” The offer was unexpected, and I resisted. He said it was his pleasure to do so.

Another example of a “nice guy” in Fresno.
