Emotional Trader Joe's Shopper Films Tearful Video Thanking Employee for Heartfelt Surprise: 'One Small Act of Kindness Can Change Someone's Day'
A woman was having a tough day at a Dallas, Texas, store when a stranger gave her a random act of kindness.
Everybody has experienced a day when everything seems to be going wrong.
In a video with over 57.800 views, an employee of Trader Joe's is praised for an unexpected act that made her day.
TikToker Danielle Blakey tells her viewers, with tears in her eyes, that she'll only shop for groceries at Trader Joe's from now on. She explains how she went to the store at night to buy some things after "a really difficult couple of days" but didn't say what had happened.

She explains that she is usually very good at masking her feelings. "Clearly, I wasn't tonight."
Blakey says she then sensed that her cashier was aware that something was amiss when she paid for her groceries.
She said, "I felt bad that he kept trying to talk and I wasn't very responsive or talking much." "I put my card in pay and he said, 'Hold On, Be Right Back'."
Blakey shows the bouquet of flowers the cashier gave her and says that she began "crying in the store" because she was overwhelmed by emotion.
She said, "I shop at Trader Joe's simply because I love everyone who works there." You never know how one small act will impact someone.
The post was flooded with positive comments from social media users and stories about their memorable interactions with the employees of the supermarket chain.
One person said, "That is so sweet. I hope you start seeing your days brighten up."
Another person gushed, "My son is a TJ's employee and it gives him a sense of accomplishment when he makes a guest feel appreciated." As his mother, I could not be prouder.
Blakey stated that the incident occurred at Greenville Street in Dallas, Texas.
Earlier this week, a TikTok video went viral showing Trader Joe’s employees giving back to the community when the refrigeration system in a Baton Rouge store, Louisiana, stopped working. Employees gave away over $2,000 worth of food in the store instead of throwing out the perishables.
Trader Joe's, a Californian-based supermarket chain with about 560 stores in the United States, is an American grocery store chain.
