An act of kindness by a Walmart cashier: there are good people out there
I found this both moving and reassuring that there are still many good warm hearted people out there.

Kindhearted Walmart cashier paints a wheelchair-bound woman's nails after salon turned her away because her hands 'move too much' due to her cerebral palsy

Stories like this always put a big smile on my face. Good on her. Angela will never forget the act of kindness she received.

In case anyone is curious. This Walmart is just east of Flint Michigan in a suburb.

And yes, I hope she gets the karma she justly deserves.

I'm not on Facebrook or I would have posted praise for Harris to the Subway gal's account.

UK Daily Mail. I wonder if this story even came up on any US media outlets?

No matter...Nice to read about such compassion and kindness.

That's awesome, thanks for sharing that. Simple gestures mean so much, good on that woman for caring enough to treat everyone so well.

I've said it a thousand times, we pick the wrong people to admire in this society. Sometimes it should be a sweet lady from Walmart. Smile

Doubtful because it doesn't push the media agenda of divisiveness and hatred towards each other.

Great story.

They must lay these Walmarts out in a similar fashion because our Walmart also has a salon and Subway part of it as well.

Agreed. Kudos to this young lady for a wonderful act of compassion and kindness.

Our local store has a nail salon, but the Subway is gone and has been replaced by Burger King.

What they really need is Chick-Fil-A!

Kindness and compassion are underreported in the news so it’s nice when a story like this gets published

That's the truth X 1000 and she's humble like it's no big deal.

I agree!

On a side note, our local store also has a lady with cerebral palsy who is a greeter. Some strange similarities here.
