I was queuing at Ikea buying a pair of a brackets for my shelf last Sunday. There's an auntie chatting happily with her nieces, with loads of stuff on her cart (post New Year shopping?) I was very surprised when she asked me whether I'm paying for only the brackets. I said yes and she allowed me to pay first. I was taken aback with this act of kindness. It is not often I get this kind of treatment. I thanked her twice and the cashier just smiled sweetly at me.
