Mystery Woman Hands Out $100 Bills: Is She Kind or Crazy?

Every now and then, you've probably been the recipient of a random act of kindness -- or maybe you've even done something nice for a stranger yourself.

But handing out $100 bills at the local Big Lots! store? Now that's just nuts.

Crazy as it sounds, witnesses tell KVIA-TV it happened at an El Paso, Texas, shopping center on Wednesday morning.

Liz Hartman, a cashier at the Big Lots! store, said a well-dressed woman who appeared to be in her late 50s "just came into the store and started passing out $100 bills to our customers."

"It was bizarre," Hartman added.

Julie Mireles was one of those lucky customers. Mireles was entering the store when a stranger stopped her in the parking lot.

"She says, 'Excuse me young lady, can I just bless you with this?' and she just put the bill in my hand," Mireles told ABC-7.

Once inside, Mireles saw the woman giving more money to other customers. When one shopper asked the woman why she was giving away money, the woman just smiled and pointed to her heart.

"There was something in that lady's face, in her expression ... she wanted to give and bless people with that money," Mireles said.

Hartman said about 12 customers used the $100 bills they received from the woman at Big Lots!

Darn -- why couldn't we have been at the El Paso K-Mart on Wednesday?

So what do you think: Was this just a kind-hearted, well-to-do woman who felt like brightening people's day? Or does she belong in the loony bin?

    There aren't enough kind people out there and it's no wonder why. The minute that somebody does something even remotely nice, they are either questioned for their 'motives', or just insulted for their kindness.

    Obviously something told her to plain share...so she did. I bet if she was to try it again nobody would turn her down.

    Do you really want to be at the El paso K mart ever? Not even for $1000, thanks.

    She may have had Alzheimer's, bipolar disorder etc...which caused her to be reckless with her money.... On the other hand...she may just be loaded and kind.

    Sounds to me like she found God or something. It was a very generous thing for her to do. Maybe she took the story in the bible about the guy giving 10% being pleasing to god to heart, or maybe she read the bit about it being easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich person to go to heaven, there are a ton of place in the bible about shedding your worldly goods...but any way you look at it, it was an incredibly generous thing for her to do, and I am sure she will be blessed no matter what she believes in.

    It sounds like she found God and she wanted to bless people, sometimes when a person finds God they don't know exactly how to bless someone in ways other than money, but then again
    there is nothing wrong with money, it is just that we try to bless one's that are deserving more
    so than others, But it is very nice and kind.

    I think she had gotten more satisfaction out of the situation than all the people she gave money to.She will reap much more in good karma then she had shown in what she had sown in good will.She is a good example of what we all should be like,generous and thoughtful.

    hmmm, maybe she could have given that money to a charity or something..That way you know it's going to someone who truly needs it rather than someone who has the budget to buy new furniture at a "Big Lots"

    Truth be told, it sounds like something I would do. I've often given money to strangers who needed it; in fact, I almost gave my last bit of money to a young man who'd been attacked in the city and finally found his way to the train station. The only reason I didn't give it away was because he declined it, as he'd already had a ticket.
