Store manager Tom Agnes, returning from lunch to find Ace serving customers in socks, was very proud of the employee’s gesture. Tom even decided to buy new sneakers so that his wife would not go barefoot during the shift. “I wish there were a dozen aces on the team,” Tom wrote on Facebook.
The gesture of solidarity also infected some friends who raised $450, about 425 euros, to help a colleague buy a bed for her mother. Ace takes care of the mother, who has slept in her daughter’s bed so far.
