Just a recent experience that I had while shopping at Wally World last Friday. Knowing that there would be a few more shoppers due to the snowbirds returning to their Southern, winter migration homes, I thought I was sneaking in at a good time to shop. Not so fast. When I arrived at WallyWorld, I discovered it packed reminiscent of Black Friday. Wall to wall shopping carts. I absolutely hate crowds but my wife gave me the shopping list and my orders. Always in a hurry when tasked with shopping, I was impatient. However, what I did notice is how friendly almost EVERYONE was, even with having to wait for slow shoppers to move on down each row. Being tall, I was asked several (many) times to reach higher shelves for the vertically challenged. I discovered my smile that eventually froze on my face as I assisted others. Everything was cool and copacetic. Someone mentioned that smiles are contagious and they are correct.
Welcome back. Hope you all enjoy the open freedom we have in Florida, during these trying times. Life is great in The Villages.
