"My son has cerebral palsy and some days are challenging," Robinson wrote on Instagram. "Today, however, he walked around with his contagious smile throughout the store and his help at the checkout line seemed to have gotten this wonderful cashier's attention! So much she asked if he'd like to check out my groceries!"

Robinson filmed the moment and shared it on social media. In the video, Andy can be heard laughing each time he scans another item.

“That not only made my day, but he was so excited, he came home to tell his older siblings all about it. He’s still smiling,” Robinson wrote. “Thank you for your kindness and, above all, love wins.”
