WATCH: These customers gather to help an old man in his time of need

A beautiful display of kindness...
Life can be testing, sometimes it's a test of patience, whilst other times it is a test of kindness.
In this particular scenario, it seemed that there was a social experiment being conducted.
It involved an old man, a queue at a supermarket cash point, and a rude cashier.
In the YouTube video, an old man is seen holding up a line at a supermarket with all his change.
But it seems the only person that was rude and impatient was the cashier...
As she complained about having to wait for him to count the change to pay her, the guy behind him was ever so willing to help him count and was extremely patient and calm.

The experiment was to challenge the way people respond to someone who is paying with lots of coins.
Traditionally, it seems that many people get irate when it comes to change, somehow it's like the coins don't equate to actual money - and is a signifier of inconvenience or not having money.
But this pushed us to see that there is always another way of looking at things. And these people responded in the most kind way to this elderly man.
