Colton is an asset, not only to this Circle K location, but to the World as he makes it a better place!! My kid was getting an ICEE, but there wasn't a lid...you know the kind of lid that has a dome shape to it so that you can fill it up over the top? You know how important that is to a kid, especially a kid who was told he could only get a small ICEE so that he didn't have to pee in thirty minutes while traveling?
Well, Colton saw that my kid didn't have a lid and showed him where they were. My kid explained that none of them fit his cup. Colton quickly realized that the size was missing although there were some in place (it was the wrong size in the wrong spot). Colton went above and beyond trying to find a lid for my kid!! He looked under the ICEE dispenser in the storage area, but there weren't any. He then took it a step further and went into the back to find some! We waited a while and my kid thought maybe he didn't find any.
When Colton came back, he had the right lid!! I told him, "I am impressed!! Your mom must have raised you right, or you are just a special soul." He had a look on his face that I wasn't expecting. Then he responded, "I basically raised myself." He did a good job, indeed!!!
I was so wowed by Colton!! He has a work ethic that you don't see in younger kids these days. He has care and concern for his customers!! He is so impressive!!
Colton caught us as we were leaving. He told my 11 year old kid, "This is a life lesson. Follow your heart. Make your dreams come true. Do not let anyone stop you. Someday I will run this Circle K."
Colton, yes indeed, I see that in your future and MORE!!!! I think that you will OWN that Circle K, or something on an even bigger scale!! You are a very valuable and impressive young man!!! Thanks for taking time to help my kid and chat with my kid!! He will never forget meeting you, nor will I!! It was a very memorable and uplifting experience!!! KUDOS to you Colton!! read more
