This is why I love my job.

Every once and while that person who is a ray of sunshine comes into the store and you get to honestly help out another human being and touch their life. It's an amazing feeling.

This one day a pretty average looking, middle-aged lady come into the store. As she was looking over the toys I went over to check on her - she seemed to be distraught and confused. As we were talking she confessed that her partner has just told her that he was seeing someone else. And if that wasn't bad enough, it was due to the fact that due to medical reasons she didn't find intercourse pleasurable so their sex life had suffered because of it. She burst out into tears as she was telling me this story.

I helped calm her down and after she had composed herself again we talking it out more so that we could find a toy that was to her liking. She was sill very shy but as we finished at the till she sincerely thanked me for my help. A few days later she returned to the store to thank me again for my help and patience.

Helping people find themselves, gives one a wonderful feeling of accomplishment.
