She replied that she wanted gas worth twenty dollars. He tried to reconfirm the amount, but the woman said, "But I can't find my money, so I don't think I can do it." He questioned, "You can't find your money?" But she was just about to thank him and go from there. He nonetheless started filling up her tank and the woman told him that he didn't have to do that. "Regular or pre-regular?" he, nonetheless, enquired. The woman simply told him, "Regular."

"Okay, just a minute. She is going to start freaking out. Why am I putting so much gas?" CJ highlighted. "Because she can't even find her money," CJ asked the woman if she had found her money. "Yeah," she shared, "No, I only wanted twenty dollars," the woman said to him once she saw how much gas he had put in the car. "You only wanted twenty? I filled it up." She remarked that she couldn't take that much gas at that moment. The woman was quite confused about what was happening. "Guess what? I wanted to pay for your entire gas. Right. This is completely on me." The woman broke down a little when CJ, posing as the gas attendant, revealed what he was trying to do. 

"You okay? I don't work here. I just wanted to give back to you. Just promise you are going to have a wonderful week. That's right," CJ disclosed.
