Once again, a shopping trip was a great opportunity to experience kindness given and received. With two trolleys full, I was surprised and very touched that other customers stood back to let me become first in line when the cashiers opened another checkout. Of course I let them go through first as my grocery pile was vast, but the gesture was really appreciated.
The supermarket I use stacks boxes and boxes of 'specials' at the end of rows, and for some reason thinks all their customers are basketball player height. So, I helped an elderly lady who wasn't tall enough to reach into the box of eggs, then lifted a couple of crates down to make it easier to access for anyone else who forgot to pack their step ladder.
As I was taking my trolley back I noticed a couple of ladies slowly ferrying their groceries, in bags and boxes, across the car park to their vehicle (goodness knows why they didn't use a trolley, perhaps there wasn't a kindspringer about when they needed a coin to release one!). On my return trip they had a few items remaining, so I scooped it up and carried it to their car on my way back to my own. Smiles all round :)
