I never could forget her

I can never forget the kindest and sweetest woman I had ever met at a job. She would come in once a month on a Tuesday to Walmart get her medication at the pharmacy. She would come over to me with this big spread smile and take out her wallet and show me the same bent and faded photo of her son. She lost him in Iraq. We would talk for a while about her son, life, and then on her way out, she would somehow find me before she left and would buy me my favorite iced tea. It was that kindness that made me enjoy my job so much but even more restored my faith in people again.

This is my second time I have worked for walmart 4 years the first time and almost two this time. There are always issues that arise with jobs but the benefits are good and the pay. I want to go into management to help walmart because I love my job. Your job is what you make it. If you dont like something then talk to someone and see if you can find out the reason for the changes. We all are a little uneasy with change but it is what helps a business grow and keep up with society.

This is a beautiful experience to share! She will always be in your heart as I feel that she showed you, that you were in hers! I hope you get the opportunity to someday see her again! Thank you for sharing! Something as simple as a smile can make anyone's day! Continue to pass on a smile, it can really make anyone's day! And it's contagious! :)

It's funny but I always remember this man who came to an ice cream stand I worked at when I was a kid. He would have the BEST stories and he always tipped me a dollar. He would tell me not to spend it all in one place, haha.
