Several months ago, while I was working a closing shift at my store, I met a truly unique individual in my department (I work in menswear). It all started after I had finished updating the manager about my progress for that evening. After the manager departed, I checked on a woman who was shopping in our Tommy Bahama section. Upon greeting her, she emphatically remarked that I have a terrific voice; she wanted to acknowledge that before proceeding any further, which was very sweet of her. Thus, after thanking her for her kind remark, she informed me that she was looking for a lightweight, soft cotton t-shirt that had elongated sleeves and was not humongous on her; she had a very petite frame, so her particular needs were very unique and challenging to satisfy. In addition, she was an engineer who worked outdoors and wanted something comfortable, cool, and lightweight that would protect her from the sun.
Now, she found a couple of Tommy Bahama t-shirts that she felt okay with; however, we both agreed that we may be able to find something better and proceeded to tag-team our efforts into other sections (my department was completely dead, so there was no one else to check in on) . Unfortunately, all we could find were shirts that looked like something hospital workers would wear, so she ultimately defaulted back to the Tommy Bahama t-shirts. Hence, we both smiled and made our way back to the register.
As I began ringing up her shirts, she began talking about some art work that she had done: she had some of her paintings on her phone, and she asked if I would like to see them; naturally, I accepted her kind invitation. I must say, her portraits and landscapes were very creative and breathtakingly beautiful. I then remarked that having such a high level of artistic talent combined with her aptitude for the sciences, made her a very gifted and talented individual, which caused her to smile warmly. Hence, as the transaction wrapped up, we wished each other well and went our separate ways. Once she left, I briefly paused and realized how lucky I was to share such a beautiful experience with her.
P.S. I hope she is doing well. I find gifted people to be very fascinating, especially individuals who are as nice and decent as she is.
