You never know when a complete stranger will bring you to tears when you've had a rough day.
A content creator with the username @dabaaaabyyy was going through a difficult time and during her grocery run to Trader Joe's, an employee struck up a conversation with her.
“There has just been, like, a lot that’s been going on,” she says. “I’ve just had a really hard couple of days, OK? And I’m normally really good at, like, masking feelings. Clearly, I was not tonight.”
“So, I had to go to Trader Joe’s to get some groceries because I don’t have any groceries in my apartment,” she explains. “And the guy that was checking me out could just, like, tell something was wrong, and I felt bad because he, like, kept trying to make conversation, and I was just, like, not being very responsive and, like, not talking a bunch.”
“And I was so embarrassed because I started bawling, crying in the grocery store.”
“Anyways, I put my credit card in to, like, pay, and he’s like, ‘I’ll be right back.’ And I thought he was, like, gonna go help, like, one of his coworkers, and he comes back,” @dabaaabyyy says before revealing a little bouquet of flowers. “I am literally a wreck. And I was so embarrassed because I started bawling, crying in the grocery store.”
Trader Joe's really puts their customers first by making them feel welcomed and appreciated.
“Moral of the story is to shop at Trader Joe’s because I literally love everybody that works there. And second, you never know, like, what one small act of kindness is gonna do for somebody,” she adds.
She posted a video talking about her experience at Trader Joe's and it received a lot of positive comments with people sharing similar experiences.
“That’s so sweet, and I hope your days start getting brighter”
“I had the same experience. I went to get some flowers for my bf grandpa in hospital and a sweet man gave me one too so i gave them to my mom too lol,” one user shared.
“They found out my husband was deployed and gave me a free box of protein bars to send him and gave me a bouquet of flowers I cried,” another revealed. “TJs for life.”
