Sometimes, a simple gesture of kindness is all it takes to make someone’s day. That’s exactly what a team of Best Buy employees decided to do when one little boy’s mother contacted the store inquiring about getting a Best Buy uniform for her son. Not only did they secure a uniform for him, the team went above and beyond to make this boy’s dream come true.
Meet Parker.
He’s an absolute cutie-patootie from Fort Wayne, Indiana. His biggest wish in the world is to one day work at Best Buy. I love his taste — who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by cool technology all the time?
His mom explained why Parker loves Best Buy so much.
“Parker has autism and has always been a huge fan of anything that involves electronics. He loves TVs, DVDs, computers, and everything about the store,” his mom, Erika, wrote in a Facebook post.
Parker had a pretty cute Halloween costume idea this year.
He wanted to be a Best Buy employee! His mom was on it immediately.
“I emailed Best Buy asking to buy a shirt for Halloween a couple months back, and they emailed me back saying they would love to make a night of it!”
Best Buy then went above and beyond to make Parker’s dreams come true.
“When we arrived, they gave Parker his own personal shirt and name tag, and let him pick out whatever he wanted .”
