At work today I had a very busy day. My pallet order came in and I have to scan, and stock it. I was feeling overwhelmed. A lady came over and said, "Am I close to the northern beans?" I stopped what I was doing and told her, "Yes, it's in aisle 5. You're 3 aisles away from it." She said, "Thanks! Well, you deserve a
treat. Merry Christmas!" That little candy cane she gave me just did so much. It got me thru the rest of my day.
Later another customer said to me, "Wow you keep the store nice and neat." Those words helped me feel appreciated. Knowing that I made a difference to those 2 customers today was great.
That gave me a great idea. Around holiday time workers in retail have so much to do and often feel stressed out. I'm going to get a box of those little candy canes and hand them out to workers and maybe some strangers to see what opportunity opens up.
