The older woman went loose on the child, but there was a witness the entire time. The little girl only wanted to make some money, so what was the fuss all about? Was there really any need to threaten the kid with the cops? As the woman was finally running out of steam, a furious man entered the scene with his own set of questions. It was clear that someone had to step in and help out the poor child. However, what was this stranger planning to do? And which side was he going to take?
Cranky Woman Was Scolding Young Girl For Selling ‘Illegal’ Candy When Someone Stepped In
A Little Snack Run
While shopping at the Rowland Heights Target, Andy Lizarraga spotted a girl outside the store. “What an enterprising kid!” she thought as she watched the kid selling candy. She was at the store to buy a couple of snacks before heading home. After seeing the child, she thought about buying something from her on her way out. But by the time that she exited the store, things were already quite chaotic out there.

Things Turned Sour Really Quickly
An older woman was interrogating the poor child. She asked, “Where is your license?” The young girl was at a loss for words. She had no idea that there was anything wrong with selling a couple of candy bars to make a couple of bucks. “Have you asked permission to be here?” insisted the woman. After gathering her courage, the candy seller replied to the queries with tears in her eyes.

Threatening The Young Girl
“I’m just selling candy. I’m trying to make some money,” the girl responded. It looks like she was already regretting her idea to start a small business of her own. This was not enough for the woman, who would not let it go. She even doubled down on the threats by saying, “Well, if you don’t have a permit, you’re going to go to jail. The sheriff’s on his way.”

Another Person Butted In
As you can imagine, this terrified the young girl. She looked at her brother. He was selling some candy a bit further down. However, he was a little too far to know what was happening to the young girl. The woman was clearly gearing up to spew more vitriol when someone intervened. “What’s going?” a different shopper asked. He asked the child, “Are you selling this candy?” Was he the store manager? It was hard to tell. At the very least, it did not look like he was a cop.

They Were On The Way
The youngster was frozen in fear. “I’m… just selling candy,” she said before bursting into tears. He then turned to the woman, curious to see what exactly was going on. “She doesn’t have a permit, and she doesn’t have permission from the store to be selling food on their premises,” she told him. “But don’t worry,” she went on, “I’ve called the police.” Jay Lopez, the man who stepped in, was confused.

He Stood Up For The Child
“Why don’t you mind your own business,”’ he asked the irate woman. He added, “I can’t believe you’ve got her in tears over this!” It was not hard to see that the woman did not expect this. She probably assumed that he was from the store and would take her side. The truth was that he was simply a good Samaritan who saw injustice happening right before his eyes. He bent down to speak to the girl.

The Stranger Had Good Intentions
“How much are you selling these for?” he asked her. The girl was surprised but replied, “A dollar each, sir.” The man stood up once more and told the cranky woman, “You should be ashamed of yourself.” Lopez pulled out his wallet to pay for some candies. All of a sudden, he realized that he paid using his credit card. This meant that he had no cash to hand the youngster. The woman smirked at that.

She Was On Her Own Again
Lopez meant well, but things did not work out as planned. He must have felt defeated by his inability to back up his claims, ultimately storming off to leave the child with the woman once more. Without the good Samaritan, the youngster was terrified again. She remembered how this lady threatened to call the cops on her. Was she going to go to “jail”? All of a sudden, however, someone spoke up.

He Came Back To Buy It All
“I’m buying all of it!” Lopez announced. He had just returned with some cash in his hand. “How much for all of it?” The little girl was relieved to see that it was just him. She no longer felt scared! Frantically, she counted all the candies that she had and told him that all of it was worth $80. The cranky old lady could not believe it. The truth was that she had not really called the cops! But this was not yet the end of it.

Her Served Literally Sweet Revenge
The young candy seller counted all the cash that he gave her. Not only did Lopez buy all of it, but he also handed them out to shoppers! He did this without expecting anything in return. However, he made sure not to hand out one to the cranky woman, who ended up walking off from the scene. Andy, who had witnessed the entire fiasco, ensured that no one was going to forget what had just happened.

Asking Her To Take It Down
Andy took to Facebook to share the video that she captured. It went viral right away! The post gained more than 70,000 shares and over five million views. The daughter of the woman reached out to her, asking to take down the video. However, the video continues to rack up even more comments and views to this day. If you ask us, the old lady should not have stuck her nose into something that did not concern her at all! We are glad to hear that people are willing to take a stand for those without any power. You can even say that it has renewed our faith in humanity.
