Clerk Overhears Guy’s Question, Acts Fast When He Sees What’s By His Feet

A confused-looking man wandered into his local Lowe’s store and began talking to a sales clerk. When a manager overheard what he was saying, he made a quick evaluation of this strange guy and noticed something amiss about him, then acted fast when his eye caught what was on the ground near him.

Owen Lima went into the hardware store near his home in North Regina, Canada desperate for one thing, but with a heavy feeling that it would end as bad as all of his attempts leading up to this one. He was running out of options, and despite what he’s probably heard about this retailer and others like it, he was willing to take his chances. When the manager came out, he took one look at him and sent Lima sobbing.

After suffering an accident that left Lima with a brain injury, the grown man has had an impossible time trying to get a job. Refusing to give up and live off of government assistance alone, he has stayed the course despite constantly being told “no,” since evidently nobody wants to hire a guy that’s slightly slow and also relies on a service dog. When he walked into Lowe’s, he had his trusty companion, Blue, by his side. However, the manager had something surprising to say about that.
