When Ryan Kennedy, Walmart store manager in Everett, Pennsylvania, answered a phone call from an anonymous "Santa B" last week, he didn't expect anything out of the ordinary. He especially did not anticipate Santa B offering to pay off the entire cost of his store's layaway items.
Kennedy had heard of a Secret Santa paying off Walmart layaways in the state before. They paid off the layaways at two Harrisonburg stores last year and at a Mechanicsville location in 2014, according to Kennedy, but he didn't expect them to pick a small town like Everett.

If I was giving 46 grand away it would go to a local charity for disabled or homeless people and such like.

No I'm considering it a waste of 46 grand which could have been spent on more needy or worthwhile causes.

I certainly wouldn't be paying off people's bills for consumer items like flat screen TV or whatever.
No, this story doesn't warm my heart at all.
