<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

Today I helped a fellow redditor with a food wishlist then posted in /r/food_pantry that the first two people to post for help would get it. I waited for a bit, and no one did. I was still in a super good mood, wanting to help. So on my way to Walmart on the corner a guy is flying a sign that says "Looking for a random act of kindness." I figured that was someone that obviously needed help

I went over and talked to him. We introduced ourselves and I asked him, "What can I do for you that will make your day better?" He said he would love a cheeseburger. I told him I'd get him food to eat now, but looking outward, what else did he need? He was put on the spot so I told him, "How about you come shopping with me and I'll give you $20 or so of whatever you need, and the cheeseburger doesn't count towards that." He asked if he could get cigarettes too, and I told him that it's not my place to judge. So he got some cigs, canned food, chips, socks, and said that a salad actually sounded better than a cheeseburger. I told him he could get both, that it's all good. Throughout all this we had a good conversation about people and life etc. Then I told him to get a full meal at McD's, not just a cheeseburger. So he got a grilled chicken meal or something. 

He said thanks so much, I said goodbye and to have a good day. I dropped him back off, and went about my day. Feelsgoodman.jpg
<bot>: Helping on reddit got me pumped to help in the real world. Took a guy in need shopping for basics and bought him lunch.
