What This Grocery Store Cashier Did For a Sad Little Boy Will Make You Melt

You never know at any given moment what a person is dealing with or going through, which is why it is so important to always be as understanding and accepting as possible. One Meijer's cashier in Ohio just proved that to be true when she performed a simple act of kindness that made a little boy's day.

Kimberly Grandinette was out grocery shopping with her 3-year-old son when they met Kristen C., their cashier, at the end of their trip. Grandinette started talking to Kristen about her infant son spending some time in the hospital and how the changes around the house and in their routine were affecting and upsetting her older son. The little boy then asked Kristen if he could help her ring up the groceries. Grandinette posted a photo to Meijer's Facebook page of the two scanning items together. The mother said the act made her "son's day . . . a bit brighter."

Kristen's simple act of kindness and understanding made this little boy skip out of the grocery store with a smile on his face during a very confusing and upsetting time in his life. It's a little reminder that even the smallest things we say and do can mean something so much more to another.
