Narrative:
A few teenagers who were part of a larger group; that were on their way to military boot camp; expressed being hungry but not having a card to pay for purchases. Some of them had never flown before or hadn't flown in a while. Since they didn't have a parent or guardian to pay for their meals; I accepted their cash and swiped my personal card to pay for the total of their purchases.
