Going above and beyond to help customers with great attitude and doing a great job.

A customer came into the store in a panic because her car wouldn't start. I went and moved my car to hers and used my jumper cables to help her, She called the store later and told the Manager how nice of a person I was.

When the elderly or handicaped came through my line, I always emptied their cart and reloaded it after I finished checking them out. There just in not enough respect shown for them in this world.

A customer told me that she has been through the store for about an hour and I was the only one who made eye contact with her and actually smiled back at her.
