Hingham Bakery Customer Surprises Employees With Large Sum Of Money

HINGHAM (CBS) - You may have heard of the phrase "pay it forward." The employees of a Hingham bakery just got a good taste of it.

Last week, a man walked into White's Bakery and ordered a danish. While the employee was wrapping up his treat, he reciprocally treated the employees. He put an envelope on the glass counter, paid for his danish, and quickly walked away.

When employees opened the unmarked envelope, they found thousands of dollars. This act of kindness was no accident.

Security cameras captured the whole interaction. But the man, who is about 55-years-old, saw the camera and turned his back to it, masking his identity.

Nobody has come into the bakery claiming to have lost a large amount of money.
