Woolworths staffer's incredible act for mum in 'difficult situation'
A Woolworths customer has given a shout out to a long-time staffer at her local store for going "above and beyond" to help her in a difficult situation.
The Queensland customer shared a post on the Woolworths Facebook Page on Friday, raving about Vicky from the Logan store, just south of Brisbane.
“Vicky is always happy and cheerful - I don’t think I have ever seen her without a smile on her face,” she said.
“She always asks me how I am and how my kids are, even when they’re not with me.”
Aside from Vicky’s positive attitude, the customer wanted to draw attention to a specific incident where Vicky went "above and beyond" to help her in a difficult situation with her four-month-old daughter.
“Today while I was using the self serve checkouts my daughter was being a little miss fussy pants,” she said.
“Vicky held her for me and still went on with her job greeting other customers and assisting them.
“It made my life easier.
“I know these things are part of her job, but it’s always good to be recognised and today was definitely above and beyond!”
Speaking to Yahoo News Australia, the customer said the Woolworths Logan store was lucky to have a staffer like Vicky.
“She’s worked at the Logan Hyperdome store for a number of years now and she’s absolutely amazing!” she said.
