Fearing she might have to leave her bagged shopping at the register, the mystery person jumped in and generously paid for it all.

The lady went home with her shopping and told her neighbour Laura Morrissey about what happened and now Laura's posted online to say a big thanks.

All we know about our generous person is that she's getting married in a week with Laura saying she "deserves all the happiness in the world.
