Nick was working his evening shift on Friday night when the incident occurred, as CBS News reports. When the woman and her children approached Nick, he asked: "One of those days?"

She then explained to Nick that she had never used a WIC card before and was unsure how it works. Nick swiped the card several times, but the card wasn't working. It was apparent that the woman had items that could not be paid for using WIC.
