And then to top it all off, her eftpos card failed when she tried to pay for her weekly grocery shop. While making tough decisions about what she could do without for the next week, a man behind her in the queue reached past and paid for her groceries using payWave. Rhiannon Exeter cried "happy tears" after a stranger paid for her groceries when her eftpos card declined. Miss Exeter contacted the Otago Daily Times to share the man’s act of kindness and express her heartfelt gratitude. She said she usually worked part-time jobs to pay for groceries, but because it was getting close to exam time, she was working less and spending more time on study.
