Service with a Smile.

One thing that is hard to get used to in the stores is how helpful everyone is. I was in Kmart and I was looking at large Trashcans for the campus. I decided on which ones I wanted and I was just going to stick them in my cart and be on my merry way.....when the department clerk asked if he could take them upfront for me. I assured him that I was ok but he insisted.

Also when you go to Kmart. Some one is often there to tell you which line is available.

Today I shopped at another store and the man working there just pushed my cart out to the car and loaded the stuff in for me. I wasn't sure if he expected a tip but after he loaded my car - he didn't even pause.

Hospitality is just a valued part of the culture here. Although it feels a bit weird especially when I don't think I need any help, I am sure that I could get used to it.
