Feel Good Story: Secret Santa Pays Off Walmart Layaway Items in Vermont

People helping people, that’s what this is all about.

An unidentified human being footed the bill for an undisclosed number of items on layaway at a Walmart in Derby, Vermont.

Walmart customer Julie Gates told her local news channel that she overheard the Secret Santa telling a customer that he’d pick up the tab for he items, then asked Julie is she was paying for any items on layaway before adding, “Why don’t you rund and get what you want now and come back here.”

When Julie returned to the layaway counter with her items, the kind-hearted Secret Santa was there waiting, and paid for EVERYTHING!

Walmart wouldn’t release the information on just how much the man paid or how many people went home with free gifts, but this isn’t the first time a kind stranger paid off the bill for layaway items.

It’s sharing a megadose of holiday cheer many shoppers will never forget.
