Above and Beyond
I'm working part-time at Kohl's right now as a cashier and so far I like it. Except for the fact that they want us to really push people to get their credit card. Which I hate doing...so I usually don't push it too much. Anyway, the other day I had a lady come through my line and she purchased a Spiderman watch for her son - who couldn't have been more than 2 years old. After we finished the transaction she stood at my register and said to her son, "Jimmy (names have been changed to protect the innocent), do you want to wear your new watch?" And she starts to take it out of the packaging. I'm thinking, "Lady, can you do that at home?" when she says (again to "Jimmy" but while glancing my way), "We need to make sure it works before we leave." Like I know something she doesn't know about Kohl's selling Spiderman watches that really don't work. She looks at the watch and says, "Oh that's not the correct time" and then says to me "do you know how to set this?" I say no but there are probably directions on how to do that. Implying that she needs to do this at home so I can wait on my other customers. Oh no...she then proceeds to dig the instructions out and smooth them open on my counter as she begins to read. I'm fed up by this time so I take the watch, look at the buttons, and proceed to set the watch for her...while she continues to read. When I'm finished she says, "Oh, is it working?" No thank you for helping me or anything! Just "is it working?" I say, "Yes, all the watches that we sell work." She just said, "Oh", and she left. I guess some people think the world just revolves around them...

Praise God that you had the opportunity to help her. It probably made her day!! You may have been the only adult to talk to her all day and you were a help,
I'll bet she told her husband about the helpful girl at Kohl's.
:) Have a great day!!
