Customer made me cry

I had a customer come in today who I approached to help find a bag.

As I’m helping her, she tells me she has just finished chemo.

As she’s telling me all about it, she also mentions that her husband left her.

Because he “couldn’t deal with her.”

This woman learned that the customer was struggling physically, emotionally, and financially.

She was depressed going through chemotherapy.

And her mother had just passed fron the same type of cancer a month before she was diagnosed.

Her husband had the audacity to tell her he’s taking the house.

And wants the wedding and engagement rings back.

He also said he will not be financially responsible for medical bills either.

Absolutely disgusting!

She helped her find the things she wanted to buy.

In the end, I helped her find some things she liked and try them on.

She ended up purchasing a few items, and I got it all packed up for her.

As soon as she left, I felt a wave of grief for her and cried.

I had been holding back tears the entire time she was talking.

She knew that the customer was a genuine lady.

She says she is seeing a therapist.

And that she has been doing a lot better than she was 4 months ago.

I could tell this woman was a genuine lady.

It’s like she was feeling heard and seen.

She felt sad for her but wished her all the best in life.

I’ve worked in retail for 13 years and am currently a store manager.

In all these years of working with the general public, I have heard it all.

This by far is one of the saddest of those stories.

I wish her all the best in life.
