Three years ago, my son Charlie, who was 2 years old then, asked if he could bring a toy with us to the grocery store. I usually don’t let my kids bring toys, but that time I said yes for some reason.
We walked around the store and went through checkout as usual. Then Charlie noticed his toy was gone. It wasn’t just any toy — it was a 1970s Star Wars Stormtrooper. We went back and looked everywhere, but we never found it.
Since then, every time we go to Cub Foods, Charlie has to stop at the Guest Service counter to ask if they found his Stormtrooper. He’s been doing this for three years.
A couple of weeks ago, the guest service worker, Diego, who we see often, told me quietly that he and a co-worker bought a Stormtrooper online to surprise Charlie.
Today, when we went to the Guest Service counter, Diego “found” the 1970s Stormtrooper and gave it to Charlie! Charlie’s face lit up — he couldn’t believe he finally got it back.
Cub Foods, you have amazing people working there! Diego, your kindness made me so happy I cried tears of joy. I’m very thankful for this gift to my son!
