I don’t say this too often, because I don’t like to give anything away, but I have a feeling that you’re going to love this story!
Because the woman who wrote it sounds like she’s not only strong, but she’s also pretty hilarious!
Check out what happened when she was able to outmuscle four guys who were much younger than her while she was working.
Take a look!
Here, let the old lady help you load that heavy patio set.
“A few years ago I worked at a grocery store.
For the summer, they would get a few sets of outdoor furniture. It was my job to get the box sets from the back when they wanted to purchase.
One day, 4 guys, about 30 years old, purchased the largest set we had in one box. So I confirmed they had a vehicle that would accommodate the furniture, and they did.
A full size pickup.
Perfect!
I headed to the back to get it out of storage, load it on a flat cart, and return to the front of the store.
This was a bit of a struggle…
By myself. No assistance.
When I approached the customers, they confidently told me to step aside while they loaded it.
Sure.
No problem.
Except they kept trying to get a 2-handed grip on the large box.
After several failed attempts, I asked if I could make a suggestion. They straightened up and said sure.
Try this!
I positioned the cart at the base of the tailgate, the box was already taller than the tailgate, so I lifted from the bottom, using the tailgate as a lever, and slid the heavy box into the tailgate.
Closed the tailgate, stepped back and said, “Thank you! Have a great day!” and went back in the store.
Best day ever working retail!
They didn’t say another word.”
