Congratualtions young man. Keep it real though. I don’t mind if you talk my ear off as long as your hands are moving.
Hot debate. What do you think?

a short lesson on being an humanitarian – there are certain thoughts that can cross your mind but should never leave your mouth. This is one of those cases. Enough said.

Unreal. The man has served our country and continues to serve “the swarming masses” at Walmart with amazing dedication and charm. Compare him to the petty, whiny, locked-out American Crystal Sugar employees.

Imagine…someone being genuinely nice just to be nice. There’s nothing extra in it for him. No tips or promotion on the line. To all you negative posters…do Jimmy a favor and go through the self check-out you ungrateful, unfeeling losers.

I was going to nominate None for the Scrooge award, then I read your comment, Tom… but I think None still has the edge. The self-check out is where you two need to go through.

“…bags a customers purchases…” Does the Herald have a proofreader?

The Herald had a choice: hire a copy editor or pay for Marilyn’s meals. They opted for the latter.

I would admit, He is the best worker Walmart has. One of the fastest cashiers and can make one laugh when get to know him. Just comes as a bit of a surprise at first. Keep up the cheers.

Anyone who can get me through fast enough that I don’t go get into shouting matches with the self serv computer who can’t determine that I DID TOO PUT THE DAMN ITEM IN THE BASKET……Somehow self serve usually ends up being help serve when I use it……I really can’t tolerate those things

As a proud Air Force vet and not-so-proud former Walmart employee, I can attest that this man is a truly remarkable human being. He genuinely cares about others, not because he works at Walmart, but in spite of it. Honest regard for customers usually doesn’t make front page news because it’s the last thing anyone would expect from that store. He does it because he actually does care. I work with people who went through basic training with him, and can attest this is not just a persona.
It’s sad that we live in a world where authentic concern for others is mistaken for stupidity or retardation.

I am highly dissapointed in the tone of a few people on this board. I hope you go through the self checkout and struggle when it doesn’t scan the item. Jimmy will come tell you that you have to swipe your item “fast as lightning” with a smile on his face.

I share your disappointment. I hate that I have to remind myself that some people look in the mirror, are disgusted with what they see, & instead of doing something constructive about it, make it their life’s mission to make everyone as miserable as they are.
As much as I hate to admit it, they were the only people I never felt guilty about firing. More often than not I got a series of quiet high 5 walking down the hallway

He is one of the few cashiers that does his job above and beyond of what is expected. He tries as hard as he can to engage the customer and makes sure everything goes smoothly. You know no item will be left behind and he will leave you with a smile. “Did you get all your bags? Ok. Thank you for shopping at wallmart and have a great day!”

Gee, somebody happy with their job, and at Wallmart no less. I thought true happiness only came with a government check. Keep it up Jimmy.
