An honest employee

Tonya C.

“On my way into Harmons to deposit a check and buy groceries, I unknowingly dropped the check when I answered my phone. The check amounted to a good portion of my Christmas budget. I panicked when I realized the check was missing, and every possible doomsday scenario passed through my mind.

"I hurried to the customer service desk to see if it had possibly been found. To my amazement, the check was at the desk! A young Harmons employee named Matt found it in the parking lot and promptly returned it to customer service. I am humbled by and grateful for his honesty.”

Car help

Chantele P.

“My mom and I got stuck on the hill on 12300 South and 1300 East in Draper along with multiple vehicles. Aside from vehicles with all-wheel drive, that area was a no-go northbound. A knock on our window came with two young men saying, 'We're going to help you! We're going to guide you back and then push you into this (Walgreens) parking lot!'

"These boys took the call to action to help us and many other cars off the road that were stuck. Thankfully, my dad was able to rescue us and get us home safely, but whoever these young men are, I want to say thank you.”
