A little kid came into the store today all by himself. He was probably like 7-8. He asked me where the toys were, so I helped him find them. Eventually he comes back up to the front and sets a transformer toy on the register. He tells me he couldn’t find a price for it but he has 2 dollars. He told me that he loved transformers, and that this toy looks just like his old on that his dog chewed up. AWE.
I scan the toy and it’s 10 dollars. Fuck. Kid looked disappointed as heck and starts to go off.So i have this moment where i’m standing there like ‘you don’t have that much money, you gotta save it.’ but also like ‘you’re gonna feel sad for the rest of the day if this little kid can’t buy his transformer toy.’
So, I stopped him, and told him I’d sell it to him for 2. I pull out some money from my wallet and we got him the toy. honestly, he looked like he’d been having a rough time so I hoped it makes him happy,
