Some people love going to the grocery store, while other people find this act to be a total nuisance. And oftentimes, interactions with other customers are the furthest thing from pleasant.

What would you do if an older customer innocently mistook you for an employee? One person recently shared a surprisingly sweet story about this on Reddit. Here’s what happened.

I Work Next Door At The Quick Lube

I used to work as a quick lube tech.

Our uniform was all black.

The shop I worked at was next to a grocery store.

It’s already clear to see where this is going.

The uniforms there consisted mostly of an apron over appropriate casual wear.

I had an hour lunch and decided to grab something from the deli.

Since they were a little backed up the guy said that I can come back for my sandwich.

That’s considerate of them.

I figured I’d go grab some stufff I needed while I waited.

I was walking through the chip aisle to get to a a different aisle and i had to pass by an old lady on the left and a set of boxes on the right with chips that hadn’t been stocked yet.

The old lady sees me and politely says: “Excuse, do you know if those boxes are empty?”

That’s too wholesome not to answer.

I decided to look out of common courtesy and i confirmed they still had chips in them.

“Do you know when they will be stocked?” She asked.

“I don’t know.” I said

Fair enough.

“Why can’t you do it?” (She’s still being polite for clarification).

“Oh, I don’t work here ma’am.”

She squints her eyes at me and noticed my uniform was different from the grocery store uniform and she began to laugh.

She must have made an honest mistake!

“Oh I’m sorry. I just a uniform and assumed you worked here, I didn’t think to check if it was the right uniform.” She said.

I laughed too. “It’s fine mam, I can get some one for you if you’d like.”

“No that’s okay. I’ll do that. You have a nice day young man.”

She most certainly meant well.

“You too.”

I got the stuff I needed went back to the deli and got my sandwich. I told me colleagues about what happened and they got a kick out of it.

It’s rare that these types of exchanges end sweetly.

Let’s see what the Reddit comments had to say about this one.

The comments immediately felt relief at the wholesomeness of the story.

Other folks shared their own similar experiences.

Some folks were endeared by the old lady.

One person could relate all too well.

But most shared the same sentiment.

There was no chip on her shoulder!
