Today I went looking for a specific toy for my grandson. We were greeted at the door by a friendly face. My husband and I walked about, in no particular hurry. We grabbed some items for the house. Perused the cards. Walked up and down the toy aisles. I couldn't find what I was looking for and asked an employee if I could place an order from the Walmart.com website. She said you can from your phone (which I had in my hand). I mentioned my data connection was weak and she said they had free WiFi. Well..Why didn't I know that?! Ok great! So she stands there with me as I get the website. Of course the site doesn't load correctly. So she trouble shoots with me. Some how I turned the Wi-Fi off after I turned it on. Got on the site, then realized, I don't know exactly what it is I was wanting. I thought it might be a Little Tike play thing...but couldn't find what I was thinking of. (I've since found it as a Little Tikes activity cube) but this employee (ugh why didn't I grab her name?..oh yes I was too busy looking at my phone trying to find the right search word!)..she kept plugging away on her phone trying to find it too. Finally I gave up because she said it wouldn't be here by tomorrow anyways. So I was just going to continue the quest at home with my daughter. I did the self checkout, which I normally never do, but it seems I haven't had a problem yet at this particular location. Very simple. As I was leaving another friendly lady wished me a great day and a thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart. Now that's how a business should be handled! Thank you Wal-Mart in DuQuoin! Your small town kindness brought a smile to my face after an eventful day. Ample parking available. Gardening center, food, pharmacy and bakery also on-site.
