It's so good it should be illegal.
Affiliated Agent M of Houston also sees the importance of ice cream in daily life, especially during the hot summer down there in the south!
Date: Friday, 13 August 2010
Location: Kroger parking lot; Houston, Texas
Time: 3:00 p.m. CST
She tells us about her first mission:
It has been really, really hot and humid here in Houston lately. It’s typical summer weather for us, but that certainly doesn’t make it easier.
When it’s this hot I always feel bad for retail workers at stores with carts. I see men and women of all ages corralling up carts that shoppers leave in the parking lot. It’s hot work that’s typically unappreciated.
I decided to help one of these workers cool off with a gift card to Cold Stone Creamery. After work I stopped at a nearby Kroger grocery store. I found a cart that had been left way far out from the store, away from the corrals. 
I tied my gift onto the basket so that the employee who ended up walking way out there would find a fun surprise.
This was my first mission and I really enjoyed it! Can’t wait for mission 2.
We can't wait for your Mission #2, either! Thanks for your kindness and for thinking of those people who do the jobs we take for granted. Way to go!

Great idea!! I live in Florida and it's been awfully hot here as well. Love the packaging with the cute little flower. SO CREATIVE!!
What a wonderful idea. I too feel sorry for the employees who have to corral the baskets in this horrible Texas heat. When I go to the store I always take my own basket in with me. At least it makes it one less that the employee has to push back inside.
P.S.
This sure looks like Kroger in Pasadena, TX. ;o)
I love this one!
I worked in a couple different grocery stores as a teen and in college. There were a few memorable times when I was actually "tipped." Once someone brought me a Coke after going through my line! You are right to say that sometimes this is an unappreciated job!
