Helped A Mom With A Treat For Her Daughter And Ended Up Feeling Amazing

By A Friend • July 7, 2025

I'm in line for the cafe at Sam's. There's a mother in front of me with a special needs daughter. The daughter kept asking for a pretzel and the mom patiently told her soon it will be there turn.

Once it was their turn order, the employee stated they had no pretzels ready and didn't know when they would. I could literally see this mom's shoulders drop in defeat. They ordered and went to their table.

I ordered and while I was waiting, used the app to order pretzels for her daughter. By the time I had gotten my order and eaten, they had already left the store. I walked to my car, with the pretzels and parked right in front of me was the family loading there groceries.

I walked up to the mom and said, "Excuse me. I overheard you asking for a pretzel and I didn't know which one your daughter liked, so I got both."

The look on the mom's face as she unbuckled her daughter and let her choose which pretzel just warmed my heart. She then thanked me and have me a hug I didn't even know I needed.

I've never been so happy to buy something in my life.
