Good Samaritan note goes viral on Reddit

A note written anonymously has garnered attention after a man identified as "Andy" posted it to Reddit last week, describing an act of generosity that took place in the Tampa International Airport.
Andy had been traveling and was asked to pay the mandatory baggage fee. After handing the employee his credit card, Andy was told his card had been declined. Embarrassed and upset, Andy stepped away from the counter to call his bank and double-check his balance.
Upon returning to check out, the man found a note left for him on the back of a receipt. The note read:
"Hey, I heard them say your card was declined. I know how it feels. Your bag fee's on me. Just pay it forward the next time you get a chance. Have a safe flight. :)"
