On a quiet Sunday afternoon at the Ampol service station in Farleigh, a local woman found herself in a predicament, unsure of which oil to buy for her car.
The young employee, though polite, couldn’t provide much assistance, so they decided on a 5-litre bottle of 30-weight oil. Just as she was about to pay, a friend messaged her, suggesting she needed 40-weight oil instead.
Rushing back to the shelves, she encountered what she later described as an "angel" in the form of a "gentle giant" named Scott.
Scott, seeing her dilemma, stepped in without hesitation.
“You’ll need a 40, and only a litre,” he said, quickly locating the correct oil. Not only that, but he kindly offered to put it in the engine for her.
At the counter, as she fumbled to transfer funds, Scott surprised her further.
“Grab your drinks, I’ve got the oil,” he said with a smile.
In shock, she realised Scott had already paid for everything. Running out to thank him, she found him by her car, pouring the oil into the engine.
When she expressed her gratitude, Scott simply replied, “There has to be some kindness in this world... too much sadness.”
This small but touching act of generosity serves as a beautiful reminder that kindness is alive and well, often appearing when it’s needed most.
“Mackay has some beautiful angels living here... in all sorts of shapes and sizes,” she said.
What small act of kindness can you offer today?
