Two years ago when I last did this, it was for a nice Mexican woman. From the looks of her grocery collection I could tell she was trying to muster up the nicest Christmas dinner she could afford - and that wasn't much.
The woman cashier actually started to cry at my generosity. I felt great for an entire month afterwards, and I enjoyed that reward for just $100 +/-.
FWIW,

That sounds awesome!
Considering doing this myself now that you mentioned it.
At least I'll know the funds are going EXACTLY where I expect them to, and not to pad the wallet of some middle-man
