A sweet customer

[Lace Neil Singer]

Bit of background; we've just started selling Easter sweets and we have Creme Eggs instore. A customer came up to pay for his petrol and the eggs caught his eye.

Customer: I'll have two of those, please. One for me and one for the wife.
Me: The eggs are actually three for the price of two.
Customer: I'm not sure if either of us could manage a third one, but I'll get it anyway.

He pays, then hands the third egg to me. "Here you go!" he says, brightly. "Hope this makes your day just that little bit better!"

Thank you, kind customer, for raising my faith in humanity. And yes, it did brighten my day.

Aww! What a lovely thing to do

One time, a nice customer gave me a bag of some chocolate candy (I forget which), which I appreciated.

There's an elderly gent who comes into my store regularly and insists on handing out hard candies to every employee he sees (and at times other customers). I have a bit of a collection of them, since I don't all that frequently eat them, but it's very hard to decline such things from a kindly elderly person who seems to be taking a great deal of pleasure in the matter.

What? Your store is putting out Easter stuff already??? We're catching flak for putting out Valentine's Day merchandise here!

I just came home from a weekend at my sister's to find someone had gifted me the Cards Against Humanity game. I don't know the person but I recall seeing his name. I'm pretty sure it was a customer. Sure made my night.

One of our bakery chains (a Delight to visit) has given up and now puts out hot cross buns all year round. They just take off one of the lines for the rest of the year and add the second line in about February/March. I think that's quite clever actually.

Our Easter sweets go out the day after Boxing Day. It's a bit sad, really.

I'd have thought that Valentine's Day would be first *is bemused*

Silly, if it makes sense, it's not allowed!

Valentine's Day is not really much of a thing in a lot of countries. Australia is the same as England - hot cross buns were on sale on Dec 26.

hot cross buns were on sale on Dec 26.

And not-so-hot, cross customers can be found in stores year-round.

There's creme eggs and chocolate bunnies in the same aisle as the valentines candy at the local not-so-super mart of walls.

There's also an aisle with squirt guns, beach balls and a couple inflatable pools already.

*lol* That goes without saying!
