Small town grocery store - 1

Score 1 for the small town grocery store.  I went to MOPS this morning in Canadian, which is about 35 min. from Wheeler.  After a fabulous time with new friends, Ben and I stopped by the Lowe's grocery store in Canadian.  I picked up a few things we needed at the house, then headed to the checkout.  When I arrived at the checkout, I realized that I had no wallet.  The cashier kindly offered to watch Ben while I went and checked in the car for it.  Not there either.....ugh!  So I went back and told her that I couldn't find it, and we would just go if she didn't mind putting the groceries back.  She really wanted to help, so she checked with the customer service desk and asked if I could just mail them a check for my $10 worth of groceries.  They said it was fine.  So, she cashed me out and had me write down my name and number.  Then sent me on my way with my groceries. 


Pretty cool, huh!  Just have a feeling WalMart would not have said the same thing....not that I don't love WM, but I have to hand it to Lowe's: they made this Mom - who doesn't always have it all in the bag, if you know what I mean...- feel pretty good today.  [I should also mention, that 2 different men also offered to pay for the groceries.  (That was kind of embarrassing!)]
