Just a little something that made my day!

I needed a few groceries, but, didn't want to stop at the big supermarket. So, into this specialty meats and produce store I went (thinking, oh great, this is economical).

I went to the meat counter and saw some nasty lookin' liver and thought, "Tex might like that!". So, I asked the guy behind the counter for three pieces of stew meat (which I think he would like, too), and a tiny piece of liver. He looked at me oddly, and I said, "For my cat..." and smiled. He just smiled and did that look that says "Oh, you are one of THOSE types, eh?". So, I went on with my shopping, and went to the counter where I discovered, much to my suprise and delight...

He had marked both items, "No Charge" with a smiley face! YAY!!!

I know it wasn't any big financial thing to the store, but, it sure made me happy!!

It's not often you find a "cat guy" but it sure is nice when ya do!

It lifts my heart. Thanks for telling us about it.

Actually, that's a very savvy business man. He knows that Jo will probably go back there and buy more often because of that small act of kindness.

that is the greatest thing I've heard in a long time.:D

Some people (men?) are able to hide their real feelings very
well. A gruff sounding or seemingly dumb remark can hide a
lot of TRUE feelings & even agreement with your own. They
just can't say it out loud.

I think this guy probably has a kind heart. Thanks for sharing
this story.:)

Hey, Jo, was he married?? ;) :D

[shais_mom]

Great story!!! I agree with Molly, was he married?
A couple weeks ago I was at Kroger's grocery store getting some yogurt and a lady said "Do you wanna coupon?" She gave me a coupon for the yogurt!
And then I went to Aldi's to get green beans for Keegan, and I had a whole case of them, and the lady behind me in line told me to put them in her cart until we got up to the checkout b/c there was an EXTREMELY long line. Two nice things w/in like a half hour!!!!
