Small Gift Card Makes A Big Difference

By Meg • November 25, 2024

Hello I am 21-yeas-old and I have a son, I was a teen pregnancy and it was hard but I have a lot of support where I can go back to school and work full time at the same time. I love my job but sometimes it can be a lot mentally and physically (retail).

Today was a very hard day crazy pre Black Friday busy. Towards the end of my shift I had a costumer that was complaining a lot to me. Instead of just doing the basics and getting them out the door I helped them as much as I could. They ended up buying a lot of things which I got credit for the sale.

After the sale we made small talk. They found out about my son and they made my day just by taking to me and saying I was doing a good job. Before they left, he handed me a gift card. I tried to reject it but he insisted. I just threw it in my bad and did not look because I was busy.

When I got home to my son I saw that he handed me a $100 gift card. I was in tears. That $100 had a made a difference of having a Christmas or not.

I am so excited to spend it on my son and get Christmas gifts. It means so much to me. I hope the person who did that would see this know it’s them.
