But I believe that people you mentioned in the blog give those who appreciate life, more to appreciate and value in human beings. I was at Wal-Mart in Thibodaux this week to return an item. As I waited for the greeter to check my receipt, she walked over to a disabled young man in a wheel chair. He handed her his receipt as he was leaving because she needed to verify what he had purchased. I believe this is protocol when you have items that aren’t bagged, which obviously he did not have any. But she did it anyway, checked through his receipt and bags and handed it back to him. She told me that he comes once a week with his sitters and she checks his receipt everytime. Although she was not handicapped and her checking this young man’s receipt was not necessary she did it anyway, just to appease him. I loved that!

The greeter treated this young man as any other customer at the store, and she knew it was important to him for her to check his receipt so she did it anyway. I know this blog talked about appreciating disabilities in people, but how people treat people with disablities is also important.

After taking my time shopping and spending more than enough money as always, I bought the greeter an ice cold lemonade. When I handed it to her, she laughed and said, “What’s this for?” I told her that I saw what she does for the young man and that it wasn’t necessary but he shines more when she does check his receipt. If more people just did little things like this we would appreciate one another more and the world wouldn’t be so bitter. She took it from me and gave me a huge hug and then bragged about it to her fellow employees. It made me feel great because I think when you do things like the following people pay it forward. Hopefully she’ll continue to feel appreciated and that young man will continue giving her his receipt. It’s a great circle!
