Hmm, I've never heard of or experienced this.
I think it's a nice idea in theory, but I agree it should not be announced or explained in detail when it happens. I mean, being charitable is a good thing as long as you don't attach strings. I've given away food to people who I think need it, and then I just walk away. I don't explain why I did it or that I expect them to do anything in return.
In the supermarket example, you could just stick a twenty down and say "this is towards the next guy's shopping." Then leave it at that.
I think good will inspires good will anyhow, and doesn't need to be formalised.
