Price Chopper employee Barron with Gail Stellato. The young man, whose job is to collect carts, found Stellato’s purse in a cart and returned it to the store’s customer service department, where she later retrieved it. Provided photo.
I went to Price Chopper in Middletown on Sept. 6 to purchase a few things.
I left the store, went home and realized I left my purse in the shopping cart when I was loading my car.
I frantically drove back and looked for the employee collecting carts.
I found Barron and asked him if he saw my purse on the cart. Without skipping a beat, he told me he returned it to customer service.
I ran in the store and after identifying myself they handed me my purse.
I spoke to Barron and thanked him and told him I will be back to thank him.
He told me he was just doing his job.
Hardworking young man and honest, I am so happy it was him who found out. Otherwise, I would have lost my phone, credit card and ID.
I went back today with a thank you note, and tip and spoke to the store manager. I told him he needs to recognize his employee Barron for doing the right thing. I asked if I could take a picture and he said yes.
Thank you, again, Barron.
