When we got this email about a Walmart worker, we knew we needed to surprise her at work

Today we are surprising a Walmart employee who made a big difference to a customer a few weeks ago.
We received the following email about Gloria, a worker at the Ammon Walmart:
I had to make an emergency run to Walmart this morning. We usually don’t go to the stores or even into town on Sundays but I grabbed what I needed, continued to self-checkout, rang up and realized I didn’t have my cards, wallet, money - nothing.
I asked the employee (Gloria) for help. Gloria explained they don’t have Google Pay/Apple Pay. I asked her if there is a way could go to customer service to pay. She said there is a way. She then fiddled in her pocket, slipped her personal debit card in and paid.
I don’t need the money. I don’t need the help. But Gloria didn’t think twice to help me when I did need it. And she did it without thinking of herself. I offered to Venmo or anything I could think of. I was very thankful and told her I wanted to make sure to pay her back (approximately $14) with a little extra for her generosity. This is where it really touched me. She told me that it no big deal and not to worry bout it because she does this all the time - mostly for the elderly who can’t afford all their groceries.
Gloria is genuinely a selfless person who likes to help others. It really hit me that we all can and need to do better to help others in these crazy times. I will return and make sure Gloria is taken care of for my purchase.
We decided to thank Gloria for her kind act and visited her as she was working on aisle 25! Watch the video above to see the surprise.

In a world of Karen's, be Gloria! 🥰

We need more Glorias!! 🙏🏻❤️

[@lisarodriguez2926]

Amen to that!😊

[@kvdl4785]

Well, my brother's chose my name, Karen, and I quietly live my life serving others. GLORIA to God.

[@chino98816]

In our day n age with all the craziness happening was good to hear some good news 4 a change. Probably if all people started to change da way we think our behavior would be better. This woman Gloria is a great example of kindness without expecting anything in return.

[@christinaanderson7246]

@@chino98816 yes! 💙

[@lornamackenzie343]

Gloria doesn't even know how her acts of kindness really touches people's hearts. ❤

[@jameshughes3890]

Yes she does. It makes her happy to help others. And it's just common sense it is received gratefully.

[@kararal-shimary7870]

That’s a beautiful woman. God bless her and reward her.

[@mjb9176]

That store is fortunate to have her as a representative. So much grace. Thanks Nate for always sharing the positive.

[@craig4451]

They would probably fire her for using her debit card while working or for cameras in the store...

[@ec-3po]

I love watching these. This one really touched my heart. we all know she’s not making tons of money but she doesn’t think twice about helping others. Thank you Gloria.

[@cbelanger59]

I totally agree. It's nice to hear about kind people for a change.

[@ramonsmediablog]

She’s definitely is a kind hearted woman.

[@ksharpe8137]

I was behind an elderly lady in the grocery store one time and she started telling the cashier to put this back...put that back...She didn’t have enough money to get everything she needed. It wasn’t like she was buying a lot of junk. She was buying essentials and I’m sure she needed all of it. She needed about $25 in order to keep all of the items. I didn’t think twice. I whipped out my debit card and paid for it. When she realized what I had done she started crying and couldn’t quit thanking me. I’m not telling this because I want recognition because not one of you know me so I wouldn’t be getting any anyway. But, I said all that to say this. If you ever get the opportunity to help someone and you have to means to do it then I encourage you to so. There is no greater feeling on earth!

[@downhilltwofour0082]

I will remember this the next time I find myself in the same position! It would brighten my day! Bless you.

Why does she have to be an angel in disguise? Religion is mass delusion.

"It wasnt even 15 dollars!" It may not have been, but that simple act is worth so much more than those dollars. Keep sharing these amazing stories! We need them ❤

[@rubberdc]

You know ...its GOOD to hear something positive about Walmart in place of all the terrible things people complain about the store workers .

[@spoonypoon7998]

Hhmm must be specific to area.. workers at both Walmarts in my town are great!

[@NozomuYume]

@@spoonypoon7998 It's definitely an area thing. I've been to this specific Walmart in Ammon and it's clean and the entire staff is great. I've been to other Walmarts across the country that were dens of abject misery with people screaming at each other, fights breaking out, dirt and grime everywhere, vandalized merchandise... Generally speaking, it follows the crime rate. Stores that have to constantly deal with crime and violence reflect that in their beleaguered staff who do NOT want to be there and are just there struggling to make ends meet. On the other hand a store in an area where these problems are generally not prevalent, the staff has to do less work, and in particular less STRESS to keep the store operating well, and thus the whole store winds up a better place. It's not a matter of rich/poor. Walmart serves poor people everywhere (the median income of Ammon is $27k). It's still Walmart. It's more a matter of how well-behaved your community is. In the case of Ammon, pretty much everyone is in the LDS church and they tend to have good social structure even in the face of poverty. Say what you will about their religious beliefs, but they do keep good communities.

[@victorhopper6774]

have never ran into a bad experience with a wal-mart employee. been using them over 30 years.

I used to watch East Idaho News’ Secret Santa yearly segments, but lately I have found myself watching on a regular basis. Great human stories about ordinary people, and some not so ordinary people like Gloria 😊 Greetings from Denmark

[@canadianmum2040]

So many good tears I have right now!!!! Gloria U R what turns the world around the right way every day❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ GOD BLESS YOUR HEART ♥️🙏✨✨✨✨✨⭐️✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@canadianmum2040]

@Snarick Klash when I say God “Bless your heart” what is meant by that is me basically asking God to Bless their heart/them. I never ever insinuated that I ALONE had ANY POWER to BLESS ANYONE LIKE GOD, but ......did you know that you do as a Christian have the authority to give blessings to people on God and Jesus’ authority? I’m sorry but I kindly disagree with you idea. We abbsolutely have the authority through Christ to BLESS One Another. Bless you and keep you well & open your heart, soften it with love & clear your mind. Amen Snarick Klash. Take care, be well.

Corporate America is a landscape of feces, but an individual is no better when they castigate those with more money than themselves about giving and they don't live by what they expect of others. We can all do it and we should. Perhaps in the future you shouldn't assume. Better yet, ask questions.

To Gloria it was nothing; just something she does regularly to help people. But think of the man who arrived at the self-check out and then realized he didn't have two cents with him. To him, this was a huge gift; it meant he didn't have to drive all the way home and then all the way back to the store again. Gloria, you really do go above and beyond what you are required to in your job! Thank you for being you!
