I had a very nice experience at Walmart a couple days ago

That's awesome, dragon! Thanks so much for sharing! It's not often enough that we hear of stories of kindness, however small. I've always felt that, if every one of us did something nice for just one person every day, the entire world would be such a great place to live, you know? It doesn't have to be anything huge, nor even something that's noticed right away. I've heard that kindness is always returned 10-fold. I never thought that was anywhere near the truth until I found myLot. It's proven here every day. Even something as small and easy to do as writing a few kind words could make a huge difference in someone's day. I've received so much inspiration and kindness from people here that I feel compelled to spread it around. Well, enough mush over myLot... back to your story. You never know where you're going to find kindness, that's for sure! Finding it FROM WalMart just ain't gonna happen but, finding it IN WalMart is something else. My son works at WalMart and he's one of those kind-hearted employees who would bend over backwards to help anyone in need. WalMart's management doesn't care, believe me, they don't, but a lot of their employees do! Oops, I mean 'Associates'. I'm glad you shared your story with us. Enjoy your Sara Lee!!!

What a lovely thing for her to do. That quite restores my faith in humankind! I have had such things happen to me occasionally although I had to laugh at the Boss recently. A women passed us in a supermarket and dropped her (empty) shopping bag, but didn't notice. The Boss picked it up and ran after her. Te woman, not knowing that she was being chased, walked faster and faster and I could see The Boss having to run faster to catch her! Eventually she managed to tap the woman on the arm and return the bag. I nearly wet myself laughing! I had of course regained my composure by the time she turned back towards me!!

Isn't it great how a little kindness like that can leave you with a warm glow all day? :-) She probably appreciated someone talking to her like a human. So many people treat sales staff as if they were automatons and don't even bother with common politeness.

I get so many free things from my looks. One time I was in Starbucks and the guy behind the counter said,"Hey, I like your dress, it's hemp isn't it?" I wanted a coffee and a black n white cookie. He gave me both for free. Starbucks NEVER gives anything away for free. I should have given him my number. He was cute.:)

You seem to me like a very high spirited person. You get what you deserve. Doing one nice thing for someone and not expecting something in return gives you a really good feeling. Thats why they say smiles are contagous I guess.

That is so nice to hear. We hear so much bad news and sad news that one like this, just makes a smile come upon me. I have had a recent experience like yours. I went down to the corner mart, there are no major stores where I live, and had done my shopping and was checking out. I was looking at the total as she was ringing things up and I had to have her stop and even put some things back. I did not have enough money as it was the end of the month. She was taking the items off the receipt and then had the manager sign it. When she was bagging my things, I saw she was putting in the items I had asked her to take off. In fact, she got in the cart and loaded the other 6 items I could not get. I got a knot in my stomach thinking how to tell her and when I did, she said that she was told to put the items in my sacks. I said "but I can't afford them" and she said not to worry as she was told to bag them up. She did something on the register and the total came to $42 something and I paid, leaving me some change. I looked at the manager and said thank you. She came over to me and said that she was told to let me have the groceries. I said you were told, knowing she was the manager, I could not imagine who had told her. I saw nobody else around so I asked her to thank whomever it was that told her that. She said she already had. She bent over to me and told me that GOD had told her to do this. All the way home I thanked who had told the manager, too. I was crying. Now I talk to God all of the time and I pray, but that day, my tears said what was in my heart because I had no words.

I've been in stores where things have rang up the wrong price and when I point it out to them, they always tell me that if it rings up that price, that is what they are going to charge me, regardless of whether or not the price is wrong. That is always nice because usually, I end up paying far less than I should have for said items.

Experiences like that really make your day don't they? I love it when things like that happen to me. I would be more than glad to relate a couple to you, but, I'm just very tired tonight. You have a great day dragon! Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija
