I met a girl named Jessica today. She was working at Kroger, outside in the wind, trying to push some really heavy carts.
As I walked by, I saw a cranky lady in a car roll down her window and yell at Jessica for being in her way.
Jessica looked so embarrassed—like she was about to cry. I gave her a quick hug and told her she did nothing wrong, that she was doing a great job, and that some people are just mean.
We walked into the store together, and she asked me to stay with her while she told her manager what had happened. She got upset again just talking about it.
I let the manager know Jessica didn’t do anything wrong and that she handled the situation really well. I also asked the manager how many people with special needs work there.
He said they have at least 12 and they never turn anyone away who wants to work. Big shout out to Kroger in New Albany for being awesome!
