Piggly Wiggly in Foley…you are blessed with an employee who is definitely an Angel among us. I had two gift cards to two different grocery stores. I checked the balance on both. I had $28.87 on my Piggly Wiggly card, so off to the Pig I went. Cupboards were bare, so I had to make that money really stretch (waiting for my S.S. Check). I was in line waiting when this young lady told me to move over a couple of lanes where she was opening for service. I told her the amount on my card and held out one item (not a necessity) to check my total at the end. She was ringing up the last of my purchases, I reached in my bag to get my card and my stomach hit the floor. I had picked up the wrong gift card, one for another store. I was so embarrassed I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole. She offered to put my few items on hold so I could go home to get the right card. It would have taken 35 minutes to go home, 35 minutes to come back and not sure if I would have enough gas left to get home. So I told her not to hold them, I would just have to leave.

She told me to stand there for a minute and disappeared. When she came back, I told her I would go put everything back on the shelves and she told me it was taken care of. My groceries were on her. I broke down and cried. She came around and gave me a big hug and whispered in my ear “you still have money to spend at the other store”.

I was so humbled, thankful, and overwhelmed by her act of kindness. I also have both gift cards left and food to eat for a few meals. Thank you Piggly Wiggly for having this sweet Angel on your team. This old lady will never forget the kindness shown me.
