Woolworths shopper left stunned by employee’s kind act

A Woolies customer was in the middle of an awful day when one of the store’s employees approached her. His kind act took her by surprise.

A shopper has taken to social media to share their surprise at a very kind act from a Woolworths employee.

The unexpected act happened at the Walkerston store in Queensland. The customer, named Pam, said she had been having a bad day as the foster puppies she cares for were taken to the vet hospital.

She went to the supermarket to buy bleach to clean up, as the pups had been diagnosed with the contagious canine parvovirus, which can often be deadly.

Pam recalled that she was asked by employee Jayden, who was stocking shelves at the time, if she needed help.

What he did next after hearing her story was very unexpected; he helped her with her shopping and then proceeded to pay for the items himself.

“Got assistance from lovely young man today called Jayden at Walkerston Woolworths,” Pam said.

“He was stocking shelves and asked if I needed assistance, after telling him about my day. He took the items to the counter and paid for them himself.

“He’s new to the store … he was so polite, helpful and he made my day that little bit brighter.”

A Woolworths spokesperson commended Jayden for his kind deed.

“At Woolworths, our teams strive to bring a little good to everyone everyday, and this is yet another great example,” the spokesperson said.

“Jayden’s gesture was very thoughtful and we’re glad it was well-received by the customer.

“We’ve passed on the feedback to our operations team for Jayden to be recognised for going above and beyond.”
