20 Times Customers Won With Kindness And Retail Workers Went To Bat For Them

We don’t really get a lot of warm-fuzzy stories about retail employee-customer interactions, do we? And that’s a real shame because people can absolutely be kind to each other, even when things are difficult. So let’s all take a lesson from these wonderful customers and the retail employees who went an extra mile because the customer was kind.

Hear me? Be kind.

Big thanks and shout out to Jenny from Twitter for starting the thread of wonderful people sharing sweet stories.

12. Coupon surprise!

Not hobby lobby… but the cashier at target once whispered to me “say you forgot your coupon..” so I did.

And she said “oh I have one right here!!” Really loudly and scanned it for me 😂😭

13. Free food

Reminds when I worked at Walmart. I would tell the homeless people to come around closing time ( deli) and give them free food. It was better than throwing it out since most of the time it was still good

14. Every discount code

15. Overflowing onion rings

My act against the man in my first job at a drive thru burger joint was to give people overflowing onion rings. I was told multiple times to only give 6. SIX! In a LARGE order that cost $8. I would nod and agree to do it and then keep cramming 14 rings in there

16. Can’t sell em…

I needed syringes to give meds to newborn baby goats, and in my area they don't sell them at feed stores. I went to a local drug store almost in tears, the lady at the pharmacy said we don't sell them without a prescription but here you go, and she gave me a bag of 10. ❤️

18. Get what you want

a lot of the time at my job we have homeless people come in and look at our case (i work in a bakery) and everytime they’ll ask me for the cheapest item- i always ask them what they *really* and tell them “it’s on the house.”- then after they leave i go and pay for it myself

19. Bake sale

When I was a kid I never had money to buy anything at our bake sale and this one day I really wanted a brownie and just stood there holding it. My teacher told the attendant that I’d already paid and told me to go enjoy my brownie. Small gesture but I think about it all the time.

20. One-item-only

Once the nice lady at the Michael’s register noticed I was trying to scrounge together art supplies for school and she used a one-item-only 25% coupon on each item I bought 🥺
