The unnamed woman wrote on Facebook that “just when you think Jacinda Ardern couldn’t get any more lovely, low key and authentic … she goes and pays for your groceries at the supermarket, because you’ve got your shopping, have two kids with you and are about to put it all back as you forgot your wallet,” local news website Stuff Ltd reported. Ardern confirmed making the payment when asked about it by local media. When asked why she paid the other person’s bill, Ardern replied, “because she was a mum”, without offering further explanation.
