Customer bought me a pillow!

Yesterday, a customer came up with like five pillows.

So, I jokingly said, “Is one for me?”

She chuckled, and so did I.

I started ringing her up and said, “Oh wow, great deals today!

The pillows are 9.99 and the [item, specified for price check] is 24.99! They are on special sale.”

This woman confirmed that the pillows were indeed on sale.

She said, “The pillows are 9.99?!”

I said, “Yeah.”

She said, “Oh okay, hold on!”

Then, she brought me one and said, “I’ll buy you one, too!”

I rung it up and she paid in all her rewards points.

The customer was happy to use her rewards points to buy her a pillow.

She was really happy that she could get me a pillow.

She told me she got so many rewards points because she bought some fine jewelry.

And she was excited to use what she could.

Needless to say, I and my other coworkers were laughing and celebrating the nice gesture she made.

She was happy to accept it, too.

I got a free pillow!

Customers have offered to buy me things before, and I’ve always declined.

This time I accepted, and I’m happy I did!
