Reaching out to a shopping good samaritan

I am an 85-year-old pensioner who has had severe arthritis, particularly in the hands since I was in my 30's. I had not been shopping for about three weeks. My neighbours, church and family have been dropping any essential items that I needed, but I needed to do a large shop. To miss all the crowd, I went at 7.30 a.m. After I had finished shopping I entered the cashier I put all the items on the moving belt and stood watching the cashier price everything. When she had finished, I noticed I had to bag everything myself. I apologised to the lady behind me and to the cashier saying "I am sorry to be so slow my hands aren't very good today".
