Burger King French Toast

Tweet

As I said in my last post, I had gone to Wal Mart to get my prescription filled and pick up a few things. One of the items I needed was a 40 pound bag of cracked corn for feeding my deer. I was able to struggle the bag to the bottom of my cart but I can't lift it from the bottom of the cart into the trunk of the car. So I ask for one of the strong men who stock and retrieve shopping carts to help me put the corn in the car. I always slip a dollar in their pocket...their NOT allowed to take tips, so as I tell them they didn't "take" it, I gave it to them. The man that helped me yesterday was so cute. I pushed the cart and he followed along and we chatted about everything possible. Suddenly he grabbed the cart and stopped it. The corn bag had slipped some. We got to the car (we have to park in the handicapped area because both Bill and I have bad legs and can't walk that far) and the young man hefted the bag of corn into the trunk with a smile. I slipped the dollar in his pocket and he got excited...I can have Burger King French Toast? I looked him in the eye and told him he could get anything he wanted with his dollar. He was so excited he decided to put the rest of my order in the trunk. I had purchased 7 bags of bread and a few smaller items that were bagged. That young man proceeded to put each loaf of bread very carefully into the trunk for me, so I reached in my pocket and got out another dollar for him....it was so hot and I was feeling soooo guilty because he needed a cool drink to go with the French toast. I slipped that dollar in his pocket and he lit up like a thousand watt bulb "OH BOY! MORE FRENCH TOAST!!!" My purse was in the top part of the cart and he insisted on wheeling it over to my side of the car and he opened the door for me and waited for me to get seated and then he handed me my purse and prescription bag. He virtually skipped around to collect the carts to take into the store. I may have made his day a ton, but his reaction made my day even more! Think about it when it's hot outside and the cart guy is out there collecting carts. Wheeling fifteen or twenty of those things to the store isn't an easy job and it sure isn't cool. If you can spare it, slip them a buck for a cold drink...it will change their expression really quickly, and the temperature of your heart even faster!
