Rebecca was on her way to Walmart and asked if we needed anything. My mom had previously purchased a memory card for her camera and was unable to get the package opened. Rebecca took it to Walmart with the receipt and brought it back to us with the security package removed. That is going above and beyond! We will definitely be back! Thank you!"
