Random Act of Christmas Kindness
|
Random Act of Christmas Kindness A few days ago, I was covering as a cashier at the large retailer I work for. My normal position is managing the accounting/cash office but it was busy and I offered to help out for cashier lunch coverage. Lines were long and it was noisy. A young woman came through my line with her three small in tow. She had a pretty full basket with groceries and it took me a little bit to scan everything and get it all into bags. When I sent her EBT food stamps card transaction through it was declined...I told her that I will try it again, maybe it wasn't read correctly on the card reader. Nope, it declined once again. She started to cry, was terribly embarrassed and apologetic. Her bill was $134 and change. She said through her quiet tears that she thought her card had been loaded for the month but she would have to come back another day. She offered to put things back, especially the cold perishable items and I said no, we had employees on the floor that can do that. As soon as I started to call a manager over that could "abort" the whole transaction, a man behind another customer in my line handed me his debt card and told me to use it for her. I was dumbfounded just as she was. But I did it, and the lady tried to get the generous man to give her his information so she could pay him back. He refused, and as I gave him back his card, gave her the receipt, I was crying, she was crying and so were a couple of ladies in my line.....They were all saying "God bless you" to this man who was trying hard to keep a low profile and get out of there. I remained professional as I scanned his few items through my tears. The lady gave him a hug and thank him over and over even though he seemed a bit embarrassed. My heart was so warmed by this kind gesture, I gotta tell you witnessing something like that really makes it all bearable when I see so many bad things on TV everyday. Shootings at schools, car jackings, murders, terrorists acts, home invasion robberies and on and on. I live in a suburb 30 miles north of Los Angeles but watch the news everyday and its always something bad on there....I know this wonderful man is a regular customer in my store and when I see him I will simply nod, and say hello to him.......But I know he will remember me and what happened through my line. If more folks were understanding instead of judging people this world would be a better place to live in for us all. A random act of kindness never is a bad thing, Merry Christmas to All, {=} {=} KCClaire0923 |

I had a lady call me a month ago asking what we do with stuff that is out of date and was there any way she could look through it.She told me she has called every store around us and by this time she was crying.I told her by company standards and policy there was nothing I could do.I suggested the food bank and the like and she was telling me that she had three kids and she had lost her job two days before and didn't know what she was going to do.I told to relax and come down to the store I am at and grab what you need that will last you a good period of time ands I'll take care of it. Her was this small little gal bawling her eyes out with kids in tow. Her daughter kept saying what's wrong mommy.I pulled her aside and just said,Don't let your kids see you crying like this.Everything is going to be cool please get what ever it is you'll need and I'll take care of it. Best feeling in the world! Using more than all the road!
