One Memphis woman went viral online for posting about the ‘good youth’ that they have in the city after a young man offered to pay her gas bill.
Olivia Jennings was joking around with two young men at a gas station in Memphis recently. “I was teasing him about all the orange juice they were buying,” she said.
Then their friendly banter led to one of the young men turning to Olivia and offering to pay for her gas. “I thought he was teasing, and I pulled out my credit card, and I said, ‘oh it’s ok, I got it.’ He said, ‘no, ma’am, I really want to buy your gas.’ I said, ok.”
The young man then gave her $20. Olivia was so surprised and touched by the boy’s act of kindness. So much so that she asked if she could take a picture with him and share their story online.
