Today Cory and I went to WalMart for some groceries and we bought Grandma a photo book. When we got to the checkout lane, an older lady in front of us had a counter full of stuff. She looked at us and asked "Do you two want to go in front of me?" We only had three items to purchase, 2 milk jugs and a frozen lasagna dinner. Cory replied, "If you don't mind ma'am." So she shoved the items in front and made room for our items and let us go before her. What a nice lady. We thanked her after we checked out and felt pretty happy.
After WalMart, we headed to Sports Authority. I signed up for the coaches club, where I get this booklet of coupons that I can give away to the volleyball players. They have pretty great deals for coaches and players. We were shopping for prizes to give the girls for tomorrows practice. We are having a C/JV team in house tournament. Coach Rachel and I already picked the teams ensuring that none of the teams were stacked. We decided the winning team get individual gift bags. She is making baked goods for her contribution and I am chipping in Quench Gum and Power Bars. When we got to the check out lane, cashier Phil (which I learned is dating one of my coworkers), helped me out and also gave me $5.00 off of my little purchase. He searched in my coupon book for anything to save me money. He found a $5.00 coupon and used it immediately. I was thankful for his willingness to hook me up.
That was 2 for 2! Just when I was going to give up on humanity (mainly on how high schoolers disrespect the staff), these adults flipped my perspective around. Thanks to those guys for making my day!
