It all started with a silly snap chat!
This valentines day I was working at day and all night. To start the morning off my mom and dad had made breakfast, I went to the gym with them and then left for work. Being in a great mood and feeling great I thought “hey, why not take a quick selfie” falling in love with the picture I then wrote on it that I work at Dicks that night and that if someone would bring me flowers I would be their valentine. Being single this year I thought what the heck why not. So I sent that snap to my story just to see what would happen.
Working an 8 and a half hour shift, totally forgetting about sending that snap chat out, just at the end of the night 20 minutes before we close I hear my name get called over the head set. I was called to go to the front desk, I was in back working with the money and getting ready to close so my response was “No, have someone else come up there who can help you because I can not leave the money sitting here.” The guy at the front desk that I work with said that it needed to be me and no one else. Right away everyone on the head set is asking who it is and what it is. I get another manager to come to the back and sit with the money while I went up to the front to see what was going on. There standing by the door was my dad with BIG bouquets of flowers.
It brought a tear to my eye but I did not want to cry in front of everyone else that was there. My boss and other coworkers were all standing looking at us as I gave my dad a hug.
I just started working at Dicks Sporting Goods a few months earlier so not everyone has gotten the change to meet my family, and the first thing someone says when he gives me a kiss on the check and then walks out it “WOW! You have an old boyfriend.” I just laughed and said, “If I had a boyfriend like him I would never have another worry in the world.” I then continued to tell them that yes it is my dad. I wouldn’t not have wanted anyone else besides him to bring me flowers!
My Final Snap Chat for the Night!
