I have been to this TJ location several times before my experience yesterday and have always been please by the polite staff and quality selection of affordable vegan/vegetarian foods!
Yesterday was NOT a good day for me (nothing to do with TJ...stay with me on this one!). An appointment took 5 hours and cost more than $250, a day off unexpectedly wasted and a handful of other frustrating developments. So, when the cashier (I am pretty sure his name is George) asked me about my day I blurted out "pretty terrible, but that's certainly not your fault". I tried to joke it off, but he apologized and sincerely told me he hopes my day gets better. After I pay and bag my items, he hands me a bouquet of flowers! He had apparently asked another associate to grab them when I wasn't paying attention. He handed them to me and said "I hope these improve your day". That simple gesture really did make my day better. Instead of the tears of frustration that I shed earlier, I shed happy-tears.
In a day as frustrating and exhausting as mine was yesterday it was such a wonderful and warm action from this true gentleman. Thank-you George: you helped make a sad lady happy and restored my faith in humanity when that faith was at a dark point.
