I was hurrying past the self checkouts, when an older man stopped me. 'Excuse me, he said, 'I wonder if you could help me?'
'Well, I can certainly try - what was it you needed?' I asked.
He was looking for a multi-surface cleaner that the store sells. I told him which aisle it was, and roughly where it would be within it.
'Would you like me to take you to it?' I asked.
'No thank you, that's fine, I know where to find it now' he said. 'Thank you, you've been very helpful' - and then he shook my hand.
He shook my hand. Just as if I was a fellow human being who merited a little courtesy, you know?
Thank you, sir, you have no idea what that meant to me
