“I came in disgruntled, already having a bad day. They were out of stock of what I needed and I gave the pleasant cashier some unnecessary attitude. He apologized and thanked me, I left without a word. Not like me. It was a day. The attendant then flagged me down outside to tell me he found what I was looking for. He went the extra mile when I certainly did not deserve it. To whomever was working the late morning shift today. Bless you.”
