I (52f) work at a resource center/food pantry. I’ve only been with the organization for a couple months. We get regular donations from the public, and people are constantly walking through the doors, either for help or bringing in donated items.

Today a man walked in with four cases of baby wipes. I was standing by the door talking with my boss when he came in and placed them on the floor. I thanked him saying, “four case? This is perfect! We’ve been out of wipes for a couple weeks. Thank you for your generosity, it’s very appreciated! Wow!”

The man nods at me like I’m a weirdo and leaves. My boss starts laughing and says, “That was a delivery driver. I ordered those wipes from Walmart this morning.”

TL;DR I mistook a delivery driver for a generous donor, and thanked him profusely.
