Isaac, I know you only had the best of intentions, but you should have offered to pay for the items that Nem couldn't afford and respected his choice if he declined. you can't just interpose yourself between him and the self-checkout kiosk and pay without saying a word.
I hope everything will turn out ok between Isaac and New and that this doesn't end their friendship. Isaac has so few friends as it is.
Guess we'll have to wait and see to find out.
