The Target store was next on my list of errands. I called earlier in the day and asked if they could hold a (sale priced) digital camera for me. “No problem” the young man replied. “You can pick it up at the service desk”.
When I arrived to make the pick up, I noticed that it was packaged in one of those molded plastic packages that are practically impossible to open without losing a couple of fingers. In a joking sort of way I said, “Hey, can you open it for me too?” The young lady looked at me and in a bit of a sarcastic tone she said, “And would you like me to set it up for you too?” I just ignored the quip and commented something like, “You know how hard it is to get those things open.”
After she rang up the sale, to my surprise she grabbed a pair a scissors and proceeded cut through that plastic packaging like she was and expert. An example of another much appreciated and personal connection.
So…what about you? What Random Acts Of Service stories do you have to share?
