Grocery Store Clerk Gave Us Expensive Mylar Balloons For Husband In Long Term Hospital Stay

By A Friend • May 24, 2025

I was decorating my husband’s hospital room with string lights, balloons, and drawings of our pets to cheer him up.

He was stuck in the hospital for so long, it really helped and the doctors/nurses liked the cheery room too. I had been changing out balloons for the holidays/events. Thanksgiving, Christmas, new years, birthday, anniversary…anyway in the middle of this, I was buying some and the nice clerk was chatting, and she asked if we were having a party or something like that. I had one of those two foot Christmas tree balloons, some balloons shaped like Christmas presents, and a few others in hand.

I explained about how this made a big difference in the hospital room, he was stuck there for so long, and she punched a button on the register to remove my shoppers card and said the balloons were on the house.

These balloons are kind of expensive, and so I started to say she didn’t need to do that, but she clipped me off saying they never sell them all anyway and to just take them!
