I know it's been about a week since this happened but it still makes me cry to see and to know that kindness still exists in the human race, God Bless.

I would've added everything up when I got home and gone back later and paid my bill.

[@Alvin-1138]

Yes. We have to reward the good folks. Pass it forward.

[@love-hy9ur]

Hey Raccoon, you don't have to paid them back! What HEB had been doing is a pandemic community charitable donations, back to the community due to it's time of difficulties n hardship! All these give away, were merely initiated by kindness n love...of course, to support HEB's customers base...n to help the local communities; to assisted families with children that need support n f‎ood for their survival! Inasmuch, that these are tax deductible donation n tax write-off for HEB! Therefore, it seems to me that they were already being blessed 200 folds by Uncle Sam!

[@blancobull]

I hope everyone went back to that store and payed for more than they took home so the manager didn't lose his job. That manager deserves a Board position IMO.

All of it will be wrote off anyway. Or the insurance will take care of it.

I would send my family on vacation if I had the money but as a Senator of our State i would have stayed. Just because people are dying and I need them to know that i am with them all the way! but, Seriously what could he have done he is a senator not a plumber or electrician he has a phone a laptop. What does it matter really where he is calling from ??

[@UmmYeahOk]

HEB can be reimbursed through their insurance due to loss of sales relating to the power outage. Food that would spoil would also qualify, but I don’t know if giving it away disqualifies them. Either way, HEB did the right thing. People needed the food, and they needed to get rid of whatever would go bad. In return, they received great publicity and customers for life. Although, from what I hear, they were already a Texas treasure. They aren’t in DFW, so I would hear lots of positive things about them from other Texans who moved here.
