A North Carolina mom is praising her local Sam’s Club after cashiers at the warehouse store went above and beyond for her son, who has Down syndrome.

April Jones Rouse posted pictures of Facebook on Jan.26 showing her son, Carter, acting as “cashier” and scanning their items. Staff at the Wilmington store also gave Carter, whose age was not disclosed, his own Sam’s Club vest and name tag.
