The story took place at a H-E-B grocery store, as a woman named Mel De’Shawn Niece was having a tough time with her shopping. She resides in of Spring, which is a suburb that is located within the greater Houston area. Mel was also sure to share the story on TikTok, so that everyone else could learn more about how kind these employees are.

She was in the midst of handling some afternoon shopping when she suddenly began to feel very fatigued. Mel was in the process of recovering from an illness and happened to be five months pregnant at the time.

She gave them permission to unload her coat, scan all of the groceries, bag them up, reload the cart and take the items to her vehicle. They were ready and able to do so and did not need to be asked. These employees saw a woman in need of help and did everything they could in a moment’s notice. That’s what it is all about, after all.

“The customer service was exactly what I needed because I didn’t think I was going to make it that day,” she said in her video, as she dried her tears. “We’re so touched by your story, Mel! It always amazes us when our Partners go above and beyond for our customers,” H-E-B commented.
