The woman wrote: "I would like to say a big shout out to a very kind lady who paid for my shopping in B&M at about 5pm today.
"I can only assume she was local, so sorry I didn’t get her name.
"To cut a long story short I was shopping in B&M Bromborough for my elderly mum and got an emergency call to take one of my grandkids up to Arrowe Park Hospital.
"All OK now, but at the time I was distracted and had left my bag having taken the call in another part of the shop."

She continued: "Whilst retrieving my bag and then returning to the till, the shop assistant who had been serving me said a lady had paid for my shopping. What an absolutely kind thing to do.
"She would not take payment from me and said everyone needs a bit of kindness and I promise I intend to do the same for someone else.
"I did not even get the lady’s name but know she was driving a white hatchback car - thank you - and just to say all is well with my grandchild. Kids are certainly a worry at times."
Nearly 300 people liked the post, with many sharing comments congratulating the woman for the kind gesture.
