In our day-to-day world we sometimes meet people who go above and beyond to delight us. In this episode, you'll hear about a young Safeway Food checkout cashier who did exactly that.

As she checked me out, she took the initiative to fix a problem with the plastic slide lock closing tab on a container of deli meat. "A small thing", you may say. And indeed it is. But she could have simply folded the plastic bag over and put it in a grocery bag. She went above and beyond to fix a problem that wasn't hers.

When I acknowledged her "above and beyond" work, she beamed with appreciation. We can all make the world a better place by going "above and beyond" and by acknowledging others who go above and beyond for us.
