TAMPA, FL – Modern conveniences are only convenient when they work.

A Seminole Heights resident found that out the hard way recently when she made it to the end of a busy grocery store checkout line only to discover her bank card didn't work. A swipe of a second card had the same result, leaving Anne-Marie Carola Huggins holding the bag, so to say. Not wanting to hold up the line any longer, Carola Huggins asked the cashier to cancel her order so she could use her cellphone to find out what was wrong. After all, there was money in her account. Perhaps the bank's network was down?

"I never got a chance to find out," Carola Huggins said. "The cashier spoke to me, and when I looked up from my phone, she handed me by groceries already bagged." See Also:

Random Act of Kindness Goes Viral It seems a woman in line behind her had taken it upon herself to show a stranger a little kindness. When Carola Huggins asked the cashier to point out the woman who came to her rescue, she couldn't.

"She's gone," the cashier told her. "She didn't want you to know."

Carola Huggins, however, says she knows exactly who the good Samaritan is.

"You are the Nebraska Avenue Publix angel," she said. "You are an example of humankind, quietly serving God without recognition, without rhetoric or platitudes." Carola Huggins said the Dec. 3 act of kindness at the 6001 N. Nebraska Ave. Publix struck a positive chord with more than just her.
