“Today I went into the store to get a drink, my husband and I were having a very rough morning as our dog was at the vet and not doing well at all! ( same plaza) the gentleman who was working there this morning was one of the sweetest humans I have ever met ! He knew I had been crying and asked if I was ok. I told him what was happening and he touched my shoulder and said some words and then said he’s going to be ok. Most people now of days wouldn’t have even said anything but this kind sweet human being made me believe that there are still amazing people out there who care for one and another ! Thank you again for being so sweet to me and the words you spoke to me during a rough time !”

“I have been stopping by this Little Short Stop on Tuesdays and Fridays to buy my lottery tickets for years. Every time I visit this store I am always greeted with a friendly hello by the lady behind the counter. I believe her name is Awdha (not sure if that is how you spell it). She is such a lovely person and it is always so nice to have a little chat each time I come in. The store is always well maintained, well stocked and clean. The only disappointing thing is she never sells me the winning lottery ticket!!! Maybe one day (LOL).”
