Honest Employee at WalMart Makes My Day!

I'm amazed that for once that someone is actually being nice enough to
put forth a display of Gratitude. Now days so many people are more
then willing to give an attitude but never the actual gratitude that
is deserved.

Wow, a positive letter for once; and one that helped to renew my faith
in humanity just a little. ^^

Honestly, no-one should feel ashamed at needing a little help; if
there was a system in place to help the Single Income No Kids like me,
I'd take it as with the credit crunch and all, I'm struggling a bit at
the moment. However, there is no way that I'd ever steal someone's
vouchers; that to me is like taking food out of the mouths of
someone's children.

Yay! Glad to see there are still good, honest, helpful people in the
world-even at Wal-Mart! ;)

I am all for this letter making it to number one!!

Lately, I've been a bit pessimistic about were humanity is headed,
especially where consumer/employee interaction is concerned. But here
is the perfect example of an employee who cared, a customer who was
apreciative, and hopefully that will continue circling 'round and
'round.

Thanks so much for sharing this letter!!

First of all a WIC voucher does no one any good because you have to
show ID to use it (at least you are supposed to). Second you can only
get milk, cheese, eggs, etc. Third most people including myself would
never want to use a WIC check. I would be emberassed. So honesty aside
the chances of getting back a WIC voucher were pretty high.

Most people are honest. I've left my coupon holder in my shopping
cart at the supermarket at least a dozen times. There's no money in
it, but there are coupons and rainchecks. Every single time I go back
to retrieve it, it's waiting for me at the courtesy desk. Someone
always turns it in.

I'm so glad you got the voucher back, and thanks for sharing your
story!

This really needs to get to #1. We need more letters at the top that
are for nice things.

I got a rubber stamped reply today thanking me for my positive
feedback.
I'm going to take Bill R.'s suggestion below and send this via mail to
the store manager (whose name is conveniently printed on the top of my
receipt). the way this reply left me feeling was kind of like
"thanks...NEXT!"

Great letter, I am sure it made him feel good to have helped you:)

This is so nice of you to take the time to write this letter. And I
know "Eli" or whoever it was was just as happy to see this returned to
you.

How kind of you to take the time to thank this person for their
honesty.

One suggestion: In Ohio, WIC benefits can be put on a sort of "debit"
card, which allows the WIC consumer to use it at all participating
stores.

if your state offers this, you might want to partake. A card is swiped
thru the WIC machine and a PIN is needed. So, if someone HAD stolen
you card, they could not use it to obtain your child's benefits.

I'm sure that someone will be very happy to get this letter. On
behalf of retail workers everywhere - thanks for writing it!

I still can't believe it happened. I had this whole scenario in my
head involving phone calls, dealing with a beaurocracy, and a trip to
the other side of town (ok, it's a small town, but still!) to get a
new folder. As for the voucher, they are not replacable.
I used to work in retail so I know that the complaints FAR outweigh
the compliments, but when it's due, it's due.

W.H.,

Nice job relating your story.

I am not sure if WalMart accepts communications from third parties so
I suggest you send a copy to the store to the attenton of the Store
Manager.

Thanks for sharing.
