A New Appreciation

After attending Tristen's birthday party in Fairfield today, I crossed the highway to the Hy Vee store where Caleb works. He's been working there part-time for a while now. He was working bagging grocerys. I had never really given it much thought (everyone just takes it for granted) but while I was standing there talking to him I realized how busy he actually was! There was no time that there wasn't someone being "checked out" and he was hustling all the time keeping up with the items being slid down to him. All the while being courteous to the customers and of coarse asking the routine "paper or plastic?" of each customer. I learned (or relearned) that some of those 'easy' jobs aren't always that easy!
GREAT JOB CALEB!!!
