Grocery Store Clerk - SEEING IS BELIEVING

The one thing about working in a grocery store, is all the people you meet.  A lot of our regular customers know us and we have come to know them.  The loyal shoppers come to not only shop but to visit.  They will wave, call you by name and a short conversation will pursue along with a laugh or two.  These moments kind of make all of the frustrating moments of the day disappear.  And for that, I thank them. 

This year two of our employees went on maternity leave and from the time they left, until the time they returned, the customers would continously ask how our ladies were doing.  And we were happy to keep them up to date. 

I have always thought it was neat how some of the customers reacted to my co-workers and today was no exception. 

Apparently one of our employees had become sick while working on the floor and another employee had come to their aid.  A customer, having witnessed this, was concerned about how the employee was doing to which I was happy to report that they were much better. But then the customer made a comment on just how good a job this other employee had done when helping their co-worker.  The customer was so impressed that they repeated it a couple of times. 

To some people this may not mean anything, but I think that it is awesome that a customer cared enough to not only ask but to have taken note on how an employee reacted in a rather stressful moment. What is ironic is that it has always been like that at this store.

Talk at ya later!
