I work in a small clothing store tucked inside a quiet shopping plaza. A few months ago, a couple started coming in every week. They’d browse together, pick out a few things, and then spend nearly half an hour in the fitting room.
At first, it just seemed odd. Most customers didn’t take that long, and the owner started to get suspicious.
One afternoon, after they’d gone in again with an armful of clothes, the owner called our security guard. He wasn’t angry — just concerned that maybe something inappropriate or dishonest was going on.
When the guard gently knocked on the door, a man’s soft voice answered, “Please, give us a minute.” But the tone wasn’t defensive — it was nervous, almost apologetic.
A few minutes later, the door opened, and what we saw silenced everyone. The man was helping his wife — who had lost her hair and much of her strength from chemotherapy — try on clothes. She smiled shyly and said, “It takes me a while to change, and he helps me with the zippers and buttons.
I hope that’s okay.” The air in the room shifted. None of us expected such a tender reason behind the long visits.
Since that day, no one has ever questioned them again. Whenever they come in, we make sure the largest fitting room is available and always greet them with kindness.
It was a simple reminder that we never truly know someone’s story until we take a moment to see beyond our assumptions. Sometimes, compassion is the best customer service of all.
Everyone knows the bright, cheerful Lay’s logo — the golden circle, the flowing red ribbon, and that familiar name that instantly brings to mind crispy, flavorful potato chips. It’s one of those designs that feels timeless, but few people realize that it carries a subtle nod to the brand’s rich history and connection to its parent company, Frito-Lay.
Lay’s began in 1932, founded by Herman Lay, who helped turn a small snack business into a household name.
When Lay’s became part of the Frito-Lay family, its logo quietly evolved to reflect that bond. The glowing yellow circle behind the word “Lay’s” isn’t just a background element — it’s inspired by the sun-like emblem in Frito-Lay’s own logo, symbolizing warmth, energy, and optimism.
The vibrant red swoosh that crosses the design adds a sense of motion and excitement, perfectly balancing the calm cheerfulness of yellow. Together, these colors don’t just catch your eye; they create emotion.
