I Wonder…
…if Walmart would get upset with me if I brought some money to work each night and helped out people who don’t have enough money to pay for their groceries. A young Dad came through my line last night and did not have enough money to buy all his baby items (diapers, wipes, dry formula, bottled formula, etc.) I voided everything out except the bottled formula and he was seven cents short (after using a gift card with about $6 on it and all the cash he had in his pocket). He asked people in line for the seven cents, and eventually someone came forward and gave him the change. IF I brought extra money to work each night, like $2-$3 in change, I could make a difference in someone’s life. I think I am going to do it. Who cares what Walmart thinks! What would happen if I used my own debit card to help someone out? I guess I will have to do it and find out. Times are hard for everyone, but if everyone helped out a "little bit", it would be easier for most folks. Trust me; I am not RICH. I work two jobs, but I understand the meaning of "helping out if you can". Here’s an idea, next time you go to Walmart or ANYWHERE, help someone out. This act of kindness will go a long ways! Let’s see how we can put some "drops" into the empty buckets of others. When you throw drops into others’ buckets, you inadvertently fill your own bucket, too! It is all about doing the "right thing". Right? Maybe I should buy a Walmart card and load it with $20 and use it to "help" others that cannot afford their groceries. What do you think? I know if someone ever helped me out that I would "pay it forward" and do the same for someone else in need. Maybe I am thinking too hard tonight. Have a great Tuesday!
I think that is amazing that you are even willing to do that. There are not enough people in the world like you. I cannot imagine that Walmart would be upset. That is good for their business when people do good within their company.

I think it is a great Idea.. But I might ask Walmart if it is ok. Just so they know what you are doing. If another worker sees you pulling off money even from your own pocket, they might wonder what the! Not sure about using your Debit card.. but yeah some change would be good.

I bet Walmart will have a problem with it. I just think they will. But I would do the same thing if I was in your position. It’s heartbreaking to see someone need something and be short just a few cents or dollars. I will gladly help anyone who needs it. I look at it as an “angel opportunity” and it always makes me feel good. You’re a sweetie. I hope you get permission to help people!

I would say they might have a problem. Not just Wal-mart but any business. If you did it people might expect all the cashiers to do it. I have helped people make the change at times so I know what you mean. But I would check about policy.

I think it is a wonderful idea. although I have noticed that when we do act of kindnesses often those that accept them never seem to appreciate it. For example giving someone cheaper board and then them expecting much more than what they pay. I guess that is on a larger scale. x
