Sarah Bigler, mother of two, was having an ordinary Tuesday evening. After a long day of work, stressed out and frazzled, she was waiting impatiently in a stalled line at a Glendale, California Target when suddenly she realized what was happening in front of her. “I was just irritated and frustrated and thinking of my long day, in this necessary timeline to get home and get the kids bathed… and then I stopped for a moment.”

Ishmael Gilbert, the cashier at the register, was helping out the woman, an elderly woman who had to pay for her groceries in change. He patiently counted coin by coin without rushing the apologetic woman.

And Bigler wasn’t the only one who noticed. Her daughter ran up to the counter to watch what was happening. Bigler said, “This stranger is teaching her something I could never teach her.”

This picture, which recently went viral on Facebook, shows what it means to be kind and courteous in everyday life, especially to people who are struggling to make ends meet.

While the fame is exciting, Gilbert makes sure to note that he provides the same level of service to all his customers: “I treat everyone with the same respect, and I get it back in return.”
