Yeah, no, this is fake asf. A person who is so broke they can’t pay rent despite having a “full cart” of groceries offers to pay for some rando’s single item they went all the way into a grocery store for? The ambiguous “single item” and not “just a bag of dog food” or “just a jug of laundry detergent”? The “tears streaming” bit really dials up the fantasy.
I’ve been a person at the grocery store who can’t afford rent many times in my life, and I guarantee I didn’t have a “full cart”, or probably any cart at all because I could barely afford the few items I can easily carry in my hands. And I sure as hell didn’t have even a penny to spare on someone else’s “single item”.
Eh, not specifically stating what the single item doesn't make this fake. It's irrelevant to the rest of the story. If it was "this lady with a full cart let me go ahead of her because I only had a single item" it would sound fine. It's the rest of the story that makes this sound fake.
