Dude, a customer is a customer. Whether they're rough looking or silky dressed, as long as they're respectful they're worth to have in the store.

When I was getting married, the tie I needed to match my wife's dress accents, had been sold out at men's warehouse, the employee has just bought the last one earlier that day. I was told by staff to come back later that day and they would see what they could do. Well apparently the guy brought it back into the store and left it for me. I never got his name, but that guy made me so freaking happy. I'll never forget his kindness.

One time I went to a suit shop to look for a grey tie. I didn’t realize it was a high end store and when the sales person brought out a tray of grey ties I looked at the price tags, and I said, I’m sorry, but I can’t afford any of these ties (they were cashmere, $150 ties). The sales person looked at me and said, “you can have this one, it’s from the last season anyway”. I said “no it’s okay, are you sure?” He turned to me and said: “I’m just glad to see a young guy like you who wants to wear a tie”. Later that day I went back to the store to bring him a coffee and a cake from a local bakery. I still have that tie, and it’s one of my favorites. It is the reason I later got a grey suit, to match my free, $150 cashmere tie.

I walked into a jewellery store about a decade ago, to look at watches. Couldn't afford the one I was interested in, but the salesperson didn't know that. She still took the time to tell me about the brand, the features etc. I thanked her and left. Now just a couple of years ago I went back to the same jeweller and bought a watch. Not the same I'd seen ten years earlier, but still a nice watch that I couldn't have afforded back then. I related to the manager why I had returned to this store to make my eventual purchase. He was moved, and asked me to repeat the story to his other employees, which I happily did. It was my way of saying thank you to them for their kindness, years earlier.

I was in sales for 10 years. Type of sales where the customers come to the store. I learned to never assume that a customer could or couldn't afford something. Out of 13 sales people I was consistently in the top 3.

When I worked at McDonald’s at age 16, I didn’t have the heart to tell kids they didn’t have the 10-25 cents for ice cream/food…so a lot of the time I would just pay for it. Seeing them smile really keeps me going even now in my late 20s. Edit: y’all I’m talking about when kids are 10-25 cents SHORT of buying what they want bc they don’t understand sales tax or just don’t have enough period

Worked at a Jeep dealership years ago. We had a winter storm one afternoon and overnight. Snow, sleet, ice everywhere. Just nasty weather. I went in early the next morning. Half the salespeople didn't even show up. About 10:30 a guy comes walking up the street wearing some ratty, old hunting gear. He walks in the showroom and looks at a new Wrangler. I figured he just wanted to warm up, and that's OK. Twenty minutes later, he's writing a check for the most loaded out Wrangler on the lot. Apparently, his regular car couldn't get out of the drive. It actually slid into his sons car. He needed to get to work. He had a surgery scheduled to preform that afternoon. The Jeep did great in the snow and ice. He showed up a few days later. This time, I sold him a shiny new Dodge Ram for his son's graduation. NEVER judge a book by its cover.

He did not lose his job because of his kindness... He purchased his humanity and love for a fellow human. The job was just the anchor that was holding him back.

I've worked retail most of my adult life, and being able to be the person that put a smile on someones face or helps them out in a tough situation is an absolute blessing. Its free to be kind and show love to the world ? ive jumped in dumpsters to retrieve dentures and helped calm a man with a horrid anxiety attack. The best feeling in the world is knowing you did you best to help someone.

Employee kindness goes a long way to making customers happy. At the last solar eclipse, some T-Mobile store were giving away sunglasses to see it. When I went to my local one at the Florida Mall, they were all out. But one of the employees told me to hold on, he went to the back, and gave me his pair. My daughter and I were able to watch the eclipse side by side because of that kind man. He made me a repeat customer at that store. I went back for the T-Mobile WiFi and we got our Apple Watches there. Always be kind to your customers.

I worked at a high end retail store and they really do profile customers like this. They know whether or not they'll help you before you even walk in. Absolutely miserable people to be around and that job turned me into such an angry person so I had to get the fuck out of there.

I am currently working as a skiman in a resort on the french alps. There's nothing more painfull than to see sadness and embarrassment in parent's eyes when their children asks for something they can't afford. Ski is expensive and sometimes just a simple beanie or even socks are the little thing that is too much for their wallet. After 10 years in the same shop I have my boss trust, I don't steal, I don't offer, i just put it on my bill. You won't believe the amount of things I owe to the shop, but my boss never asked me to pay. He knows I still have my old beanie on my head while some kids have the ones they wanted. Suddenly the pain in the eyes of the parents turn into pure love, I sleep well after work, I am a happy man.

I’m friends with a Real estate agent and he was telling me one day a man came to view a 2.5 million pound house, this was back on the early 2000s, and he said the man arrived in a transit van, overalls covered in paint and he wrote the man off as someone who just liked to view nice houses that had no intention of buying. When he got back to the office his boss pulled him in to the office and absolutely hammered him for being rude to the guy. He told his boss that the man was a waste of time, his boss told him it was Phil Collins. My mate told me he was dressed like a bum but has never judged anyone since

I work as a Manager at a convenience store. I'm forever helping people here and there if they come up a little short or they're in a bind and need a hand. I can't tell you how many gallons of gas I've bought for people just trying to get home. Treat others the way you hope someone would treat you if you were in their position and you'll find yourself in the right place at the right time every time.

Sales is about helping people find what best suits their needs. Sometimes it means recommending a different brand, sometimes it means recommending a different store. Sometimes it even means giving them a discount. But if you're not helping people, you're not a salesman. When I worked in sales, I had numerous people come in on the recommendations of people I didn't even remember helping. And some of them, I remembered helping, but they didn't buy anything from me.

They lost customers in the ling run. I was going into Nike store for my first big money purchase and the attendants ignored me and assist this one rich couple. Imagine 3 attendants all assisting the same couple when there are other customers in there. When I’m done browsing and would like to see if they have my size, I call one attendants for assistance and I can see their friendly face disappeared. I asked for others sizes, they say it’s display only. So I ask them which ones are not display only and she’s called on by her manager to help the couple again. I just dropped the shoes on the floor and walk out. Ended up getting 2 nice pairs of shoes from Payless and I’ve never purchased anything from Nike since, even when I’m able to.

I was taught a very good lesson years ago when I was so much younger. I was returning to school as an adult. There was another student I befriended. She had a son who was employed at Toms. Some may recall Toms was a snack company chips, cookies, etc. Knowing that I had kids she would bring a box or bag of Tom products. During class one night she brought a box full of snacks. I remembered telling her thanks but she didn't have to always bring anything. She advised me that when someone tries to do something kind to another person its important not to take away their joy. I almost took away her joy.

I worked in a store in the UK called Currys similar to Walmart. One day a really scruffy looking guy came in nobody wanted to serve him so I did and it turned out because it was the end of the tax year he needed to spend £50,000 to remain in the tax bracket he wanted. He was a business owner who had been doing some DIY at home.

Ive done random acts of kindness before, and if they fuss to repay me I justvtell them: "If you feel that strongly do me this favor, if you see someone else that deserves to be helped and you can, help them, then ask them to do the same. Thatvway there's always one good deed in the world left to be done."
