OMG, true story and it could only happen to me. LOL! I was in Wal-Mart today searching for Thai Soup mix. The woman shelving groceries was so very kind to help me and went the extra mile to assist me in this search. Then, I went to the cashier to pay for my purchases. A very sweet, middle-aged woman rang up my purchases. She proceeded to ring up the following: Thai soup mix, Halloween cup, and allergy medicine. Because Tennessee state law requires businesses to ID you when purchasing allergy meds, she jokingly asked me if I was eighteen. I told her, Why, yes. Ill be 18-and-holding tomorrow. After she carefully rang up my purchases, she came out from behind her register and gave me a great-big hug, wishing me a happy birthday. It almost made me teary-eyed because the service was impeccable. Im not big on birthdays, but this woman was so sweet. In fact, they all were. I walked outside, purchases in hand and feeling like I just received THE BEST customer service possible. Usually, I park on the lawn and garden side. However, I parked toward the front of the store. I walked out to my vehicle and noticed the remote wouldnt respond to my car to unlock it. Odd. So, I open the hatch and notice all my stuff was gone. Even more odd. Then, afraid I got robbed, I got inside my car to hurry home and my keys didnt fit. Whats worse is the car smelled like raspberry and vanilla instead of my usual fresh linen scent. Well, there was a reason. Sitting in the passengers side of my vehicle was a 70-something year old woman looking at me in sheer terror. In perfect unison, we both screamed at each other. I screamed, Oh, my God! What are you doing in my car?! She screamed, I dont know! What are you doing in my car?! I looked around, stopped screaming, and noticed this...WAS NOT MY VEHICLE! My vehicle is a limited edition and looks a little different. Well, so was this car. Having used to park near the lawn a garden side, I thought I did today. Basically, I was reeling so much from the tremendous service I received and the birthday hug I was so freaking sidetracked. LOL! Then, like a total idiot I ask her one thing before I left: Where did you get that awesome air freshener? She answered with a resounding, GET OUT! Yep...considering this start, its gonna be yet another rocky birthday, too. LOL!
