In line to get take out at a Japanese restaurant tonight and I remembered being here during peak Covid. Masks, take out only, etc

I was in line, 6 feet of separation. A guy approached me, asked if I could help him get some food. I had just been to the ATM and had fresh $20’s. I was feeling generous and decided to give him $20. Opened my wallet, grabbed a bill and handed it to him without looking and said I hope this helps. He looks down, his eyes get big as he looks at me again and says thank you. Looked over his shoulder once walking away. I thought I must have really made his day.

A couple minutes later, I had a sick feeling when I remembered earlier in the day I sold something on Marketplace and they paid with a $50 bill. Checked the wallet and sure as shit, I gave him $50.

TLDR: accidentally gave a $50 instead of a $20 to a panhandler.
