No Diet Diet Day 18

I decided to make this my second ‘people’ day of the week. I chose to help-that is offer my assistance to another person or living creature. My help went to a woman who was struggling with the trolley return bay at the local supermarket. I was in a bit of a hurry to get home before my frozen goods started to thaw when I noticed her having trouble. Normally I wouldn’t interfere. If she needed my help I assume she’d ask for it. Instead I inquired as to whether or not she’d like some assistance. She told me that the trolley lock had taken her money but not released the trolley and would not relinquish her coin either. It took a minute or so of examination before I identified the problem. The trolley was slightly shorter than the others it had been linked to. As a result the chain was stretched at an odd angle jamming the lock. I lifted the trolley up to the same height as the others while she jimmied the bolt. In a second or two we had her money back. She was happy and a couple of minutes hadn’t hurt my frozen produce any. Win-win.
