Kids are often braver than we give them credit for, but sometimes, their best reactions happen when they think no one’s watching.

Imagine a little customer proudly paying for her own chocolate, only to freeze when you offer her a free sample. Would you let the moment pass? Or would you remember that’s why you go to work?

In today’s story, one chocolate shop employee has this exact exchange with a little girl and will never forget it. Here’s the full story.

An Easter Gift Turns Into An Adorable Moment

It’s almost Easter, and at the chocolate shop where I work, a popular product is sold for $4.95.

Therefore, I’ve been getting many instances of excited small kids racing to my till with exactly $5 so that they can pay for their own chocolate.

And every time I give them all the time I can, they’re always, without fail, the most polite customers I’ll get in the day, and I think it’s nice to give the kids practice at this kind of thing.

Today, I had a little girl come and buy some chocolate, proudly giving me her $5. I gave her a bag, put her receipt inside, etc.

She made the little girl’s whole day.

Our shop gives out free tastings to each customer, so I leaned over and said, ‘I have an important question for you—would you like some chocolate to eat now?’

The girl looked at me gravely with big eyes, like ‘I didn’t expect this,’ and then nodded.

We have an awesome Easter chocolate range, and I gave her a bit with her bag, wishing her a happy Easter.

Once again, she just nodded at me; no problem; kids get shy.

She walked out of sight; five seconds later, I heard a high-pitched girl’s voice yell, ‘MUM THE LADY GAVE ME THIS AND IT’S REALLY GOOD!’

This is what I go to work for. 🙂

Incredible! What a kind gesture!

Let’s see what the folks at Reddit think about what happened.

This is what most people probably thought.

According to this reader, elderly adults are worse than kids.

What a nice kid!

This must’ve been such a sweet moment!
