The Highlight of my tenure at Walmart (thus far)

In 2004 I went back to school briefly and so I switched from overnights to afternoons. I was stocking in the Pet Department and as the store was busy we were encountering a lot of customer traffic. At this point I need to pause and say that when I interact with customers I try to give them the utmost respect so terms like"ladies", "gentlemen" I'll use frequently. On this particular day I had to go between a mother and her daughter. Honestly, I have no idea how old the girl was as I just had to walk between the mother and daughter. From the sound of her voice (the daughter) I think she was probably ten or younger. So as walked between the two of them I said my standard, "Excuse me ladies", not even thinking about the fact that one was quite young. I took two steps and I heard the girl say to her mom, "He called me lady!" That made my day, week, month year! It's such a good feeling to give someone a smile!
