Brady wrote on Facebook that the elderly man “wasn’t very agile, nor fast, but Christian walked with him ever so patiently and slowly, chatted along with him and carried his bag for him.”

She called the moment a “lovely thing to witness.”

Trouesdale called the reaction "crazy," telling a local newspaper that he has received praise from people around the world through social media.

Trouesdale said that he had walked the old man home a week earlier and when the man returned, he asked if Christian could do it again.

"My parents have raised me to treat other people like you want to be treated yourself," he said.

The fact that this is international news should give us pause for thought.

Mind you, I wonder what his supervisor said about him disappearing from the store for 30+ minutes? Damn sure I could never get away with it!

When I worked at the local government, there was a file on a guy named 'muhammed islam' - now, there are some parents who'll be pissed if the kid's atheist.

We have Aldi's here also. I think they are a German owned company. They are supposedly very cheap. I've never been to one however.
