"Today’s family experiment involves Service and Surprise. I borrowed this idea from my delightful, creative neices and nephew. They make trips to Target more enjoyable by asking the clerk who is scanning their merchandise what their favorite candy is. Once they finish checking out, they circle back in line with that item, purchase and hand it over to the clerk with the simple words of 'thanks for what you do and someone was thinking about you today.' "
I told Taylor and Anna about this idea a few weeks ago and thought it would be fun this summer. When we were at the store today, Taylor said, "Mom, let's do the candy thing!" So I nonchalantly asked Taylor what his favorite candy was and then turned to the checker to ask him what his was too. Then we went through a different checkout line after we got our groceries with the Skittles our cashier (Scott) had mentioned to us a few minutes before and handed it to him. Such fun!
