In Amazement

Paige and I spent time shopping last week, an enjoyment we don't do that much anymore. We had gone to Old Navy, tons of things of clearence (woohoo) , so many cute clothes for little girls. The sales were so good I was buying things for next Christmas gifts, (weird, I don't live that far in the future).


Leaving the store with a couple of crammed bags, filled with excitement of all the money we had saved....even though the lady in the womens department was griping and pretty much making sure we knew that the store was closing in 10 minutes.


A few days later items had been tried on, determination of what would need to be returned for reasons of wrong sizes and you know your kid doesn't like it when they say (yeah I like it with their nose curled up).


At 7:30 last night Paige and I decided to drive into Rockwall, there were a few things we needed to grab. I had taken the bag of unwanteds to return to Old Navy. We got in our line..in surprise any more, the cashier was the nicest lady young lady. I explained I wanted to return the items..no problem, the funds were put back on the bank card and we were ready to head out. Then the cashier said, would you like to buy the stuff back...We we like "HUH", she said that this was the last day to take an additional 50% off clearence items..we were like "WOW"....I thanked her and said that we really didnt need the items. Paige commented that she wished that we had brought everything back and then could have rebought it....the cashier spoke up and said "I can run your receipt and reprice everything" we were like wow, cool!..At the end of the receipt repricing..$73.00 "What the heck!" I have never seen such a thing.....How impressed we were..we just kept saying "thank you, amazing, your the greatest, we really appreciate it"...all this 30 minutes before the store closed on the final day of the sale. The walk to the car is not even memorable because of our amazement.


We were so impressed with this young lady, she never had to tell us that, she never had to offer us that......her honesty, her kindness and her ability to put more money in our pockets was amazing............,


Though I am not a big fan of shopping and even a less fan of taking things back...usually I will just donate it or sale it at the next garage sale as to not have to go through the hassle of finding the receipt, explaining why we dont want it and just waiting through the lines is enough to make me never go back.


Paige and I have a little more money in out pockets this morning, are amazed by what we were given by an Old Navy cashier, wittnessing a young lady being all she can be as an employee......I wish all stores had such great employees..Thank you Jamie.
