This blog is usually focused on the critters at our ranch. But some days you stumble across a lovely unexpected surprise and you have to share your smile with the world.
This morning I ran down to The Big City (Boulder) to drop off some goodies at the local Humane Society Thrift Store.
On my way back I stopped at Whole Foods to pick up a few items. You know how that goes...I ended up with a monster shopping cart of yummy organic goodness!
The register seemed a little more chaotic than usual but I figured it was Monday so shrugged it off.
When it was my turn the cashier informed me that their system was down and they were charging $1 per item for the morning.
Holy Moly!
I walked away with five overflowing bags of groceries for about $50 saving at least $200! As I left they finally decided to close the store (I think lots of customers started calling their friends!) Clearly they were losing too much money.
I made sure to thank every employee on my way out for how they handled the entire mess-they could have made folks put everything back or made us wait as they hand entered prices. Instead they took the loss and did it with smiles and graciousness.
In this day and age it is nice to see a big company try to do the right thing for the customers rather than worrying about the bottom line.
Thanks Whole Foods! You made my day today :)
