Today, someone actually appreciated the fact that I do my job.
This guy came in with a present he needed a gift bag for. The poor guy was totally helpless. Didn't have a clue what to do. So I helped him pick out two gift bags and complementary tissue paper. His niece was having a Sponge Bob birthday. He was all like, "Can you tell I'm single?" I rang him up for the bags and tissue, and helped him wrap everything up pretty-like. As I'm fluffing up the tissue, he asked me which Russel Stover boxed candy I would recommend. I told him the all-creams were my personal favorite. So he bought a box of them, and I finished wrapping his gifts. I asked him if he needed a bag for the chocolates, and he said "No. They're for you, because you're the best Hallmark employee I've ever met." I said thank you about ten times, and he left.
Now most of the time, even if I go out of my way to help a customer, I barely get a "Thank you," or "Have a nice day." This guy bought me chocolate, and all I did was my job.
Absolutely made my week!
