I was waiting for the bus and I noticed someone who was about my grandmothers age mopping up snow customers brought it, clearing snow off carts, and checking peoples receipts at the same time. The first thing I thought to myself is how hard she was working and I felt bad that someone her age had to work in the US. We strike up conversation and she tells me how two asshats told her she missed a spot as she was making sure they didn’t slip. Then she tells me that it’s her birthday and that Walmart didn’t give her time off even when she entered it into the system. I told her not to work too hard and I think I’ll bring her a gift tomorrow. Is there anything more I can do for her?
