I have two questions about etiquette?

Question

Question 1: How do I repay this woman's kindness?

Scenario: I collect shopping carts at a major supermarket and there is this one regular who always asks me to get her an electric cart and when she is done I am always there to load her car with her groceries. Yesterday the same situation went down but this time she gave me a Christmas card with 10 bucks in it. How can I repay her kindness.

Question 2: Is what I am doing bad?

Scenario: Despite liking my customers I really hate my job to the point where several times a day I go to the bathroom to avoid work. I just sit on the toilet and play games on my phone. One time my boss confronted me about my frequent bathroom habits so I lied and said I suffer from Crohn's disease. Was I wrong to do that.

Wrong to lie?  Wrong to shirk work by hiding out in the bathroom?  Yes, unfortunately.  Sounds like a difficult situation for you at work - but not a good way to be handling it, sorry to say.

No she is Thanking you for helping her.As for lying it's no joke to have crohns  or lie about it. Maybe go inside ask for a bagging job or something if your not happy

1)--you just need to say thank you--she was repaying YOUR kind deeds.
2) -can't say you were right to do that--but if you don't want to get fired--just be aware-now you can't be eating bean burritos and fried chicken for lunch.....

Thank the kind lady, then quit your job before you get fired.

#1: You say thank you. She's giving you a thank you for helping her.  #2: Yes it's wrong.

Working at a grocery store is not a long term career so quit when you can.
