Thank you! You may have kids or you may not, I didn't ask! You're very young, but you seemed to see straight through the facade! No, I'm not a single mother, however, I was at the time that I came through your line. You see, my husband works 50+ hours to be able to provide us these groceries that you're scanning for me. So, yes, often on my grocery store trips, I'm hauling a 5 year old and a 4 month old by myself.
Thank you for kindly greeting me (with a smile) when I walked up to your register. Yes, I do have some handsome boys, thank you for noticing that, too!
Yes, the baby has been on the verge of crying this whole trip, but I'm glad he's waited until now. "We're almost done, baby, it's okay", I say into his ear as I'm trying my best to console him and unload the buggy at the same time. "No, baby, you don't need that!" I say to my 5 year old who wants at least SOMETHING (preferably a $4.00 Etch-a-Sketch that is the size of my hand) from that shelf with all the pointless crap on it, that usually has parents yelling at their kids to stop touching it or put it back. "Go pick you out a piece of candy instead." He REALLY is so very well behaved while I pull him around the grocery store. He, at least, deserves a $0.50 piece of candy. Plus, the $0.50 that I spend on the Reece Cups for the 10 seconds that you enjoy it, is much more worth it than that $4.00 Etch-a-Sketch, which you would also enjoy for about 10 seconds.
Attention now back to you, cashier girl. Thank you for offering to unload the groceries from the buggy for me, but it's okay, I've got it. The baby is going to be crying either way. He's tired and hungry, and really just wants to be home. We've been running around all day. Honestly, thinking back on it, I might have actually let you if this was more of a common gesture offered. In reality, though, most cashiers that I come in contact with don't even acknowledge my presence, much less my kids.
Thank you, for actually holding a conversation with me while also distracting my 5 year old long enough to get his attention away from that Etch-a-Sketch that he still wants. You really are very nice.
"No, I've got it", you tell me for the 2nd time, with a smile, as you load my bags into my buggy. I honestly think I was in a state of shock. I thought I came into WalMart, but I'm wondering if I've gone a little delusional and I'm really in Publix. No, it's WalMart, I say to myself as I'm looking around. You're still smiling and still talking to me. I can't even remember the last time I've had this kind of customer service...Oh yes...it was at Publix.
Thank you so much for making the most stressful part of my trip a little more enjoyable. Thank you for being so kind and joyful. Thank you for the conversation, thank you for your smile. And THANK YOU for your outstanding display of customer service. Businesses, not just Walmart, need more employees like you! LIFE needs more people like you. I will not forget you, Bridget! You were AWESOME!!
"CRAP!! I forgot the cat food!!" I tell my son as we're walking towards the exit. "Momma, I gotta tee-tee!" Oooohhh, DOUBLE CRAP!!
