'She's been singing your praises for a good five minutes': Good samaritan gets promoted while shopping at a local store he didn't work at

You're walking down the aisle, stacking up bottles of shampoo, boxes of cereal, cartons of milk… you answer people's questions, whether they ask nicely or not, because you need a salary at the end of the month. Sometimes you work the cashier, other times work the logistics. You're really a one-man show, but don't get paid enough to do it. Welcome to working at a supermarket. Tough times, tough times…

One good samaritan was shopping at their local supermarket, eyeing the taco section. They'd been shopping there for the past six years and knew the place well. The store had lots of variety, but the taco section was something else. They were planning on making them, and picked out the Ghost Pepper Salsa, trying not to think about the bathroom trip that would be less than pleasant. Suddenly an old woman approached him, thinking he was an employee. She asked for some help, and normally someone would just say 'Sorry, don't work here' but this good dude did something entirely different.
