Memphis youth buys gas for stranger

- Olivia Jennings was in line at a gas station’s convenience store when she started some friendly banter with the two young men in front of her.
- After sharing a good chuckle, one of them insisted on buying her gas.
- Olivia was so touched that she shared a picture of them to let people know that “Memphis has good youth.”
When a Memphis woman found herself on the receiving end of a random act of kindness from a stranger, she wanted everyone to know that her city has good people despite recent news.
Olivia Jennings was waiting in line at the convenience store of Marathon on Summer Avenue, Binghampton on Tuesday.
When she noticed the two young men in front of her, she joined in on their friendly conversation. Olivia shared, “I was teasing him about all the orange juice they were buying.”
Perhaps amused by their jovial encounter, one of them turned around and insisted that he would pay for her gas.
“I thought he was teasing and I pulled out my credit card, and I said, ‘oh it’s ok, I got it,’” Olivia recounted. “He said, ‘no, ma’am, I really want to buy your gas.’ I said, ok.” He then handed over $20.
Olivia was so touched by the young man’s generosity, that she asked him if they could take a picture together.
She said that with Memphis getting a bad rap lately regarding crime, she wanted to remind everyone that there are still good young people in their city.
Olivia shared, “The young man is about the same age as my son. I would just like to know if he did something kind, people would at least say something. You know, you’re a good kid. They are doing the right thing.”

When Olivia shared the story on Facebook, several people commended the young man and thanked her for spreading the good word.
Olivia shared, “It was absolutely great for everybody coming together saying yes, you are right Memphis has good youth. No matter what you say, we’ve got them. They are everywhere.”
