Weekly Groceries With An Extra Portion of Kindness

--by trueblue, posted Nov 16, 2011

I did my monthly shopping today. I went in to a cool room to buy my meat where they sometimes have specials on. I picked up as much as I thought I could afford. We have been going through tough times lately and I had saved up $60 for meat. When the checkout lady rang it all up, the total came to $71.85.

I begun to explain that I would need to put some of the meat back. She stopped me from reaching into the pile and told me not to worry about the extra amount. I had taken out the dog bones but she put them back in to some carry bags and just wished me a good day...WOW!

I was so happy and moved by this gesture. I thanked her before I left. I wish I had had a smile card to give to her. As soon as I get some more, I will definitely head over and hand her one or two cards with a big thank you smile on my face. The extra meat will definitely be welcomed.
