My boss was shadowing me at the register on my first day, and things were going okay but I was pretty nervous with her watching over my shoulder.

Midway through my shift a customer comes up and recognises me from my previous job. I can’t remember her for the life of me, so I have no idea if our previous interaction(s) had been good, bad, or other. Lucky me, though, because she launches into a whole speech about how amazing I am! Right in front of my boss!

I wanted to reach across the counter and hug her, she completely made my day and gave my new boss an incredible first impression of me.
