Damsel in Distress

[Shelly Preston]

Well not quite a damsel in distress but I am curious as to how many of you have played the helpless to get some assistance.

Yesterday I went to the pet store to pick up pet food unfortunately this comes in rather large bags. I can lift then but its not too easy. So I go to the checkout looking for a trolley to slide the bag onto it. Sadly there was no trolley but A nice young man at the checkout asks if he can help. He carried the bag to the checkout for me and much to my surprise he then offers to carry it to the car too.
The age of chivalary is not dead

He left me with the words "thank you so much" ringing in his ears

Its nice to have good news about a sales assistant


Has this happened to anyone else ?

The days of the 'good' employee are not yet dead, there are still many of them out there. It all is a matter of up-bringing, and I have found that living in a rural area like the Shenandoah Valley, the kids and people in general are a lot more civilized than the people on Northern Va where I used to live.

The willingness to help is not limited to helping the damsel in distress out here. Our local Lowes comes to mind. On several occasions, their employees have offered to help load carts or my truck where as at my old Lowes they tended to hide.

I bought a Love Seat at COSTCO the other day. I didn't touch it till I got home. They did all the work at the store, not me. All I had to do was ask.

Felt nervous as hell when I first had a young male SA assist me with some parcels, years ago now.

I don't go out in vanilla land often enuff to have this happen, Shelly. In unusual venues I've asked folks to take Sherry's photo. I've found most r co-operative!

In drab, I HAVE used the, "I'm an old fart and get confused easy", story and look to avoid a few traffic tickets, tho! In reality, I've logged 1000's of miles driving thru some of Europe's toughest cities! With no accidents!
