Social media sensation Devon Wardlow set out on an ordinary shopping trip to Walmart which quickly turned into a sweet gesture that has since gone viral.

The YouTube star, who boasts of 356K subscribers on Instagram, found himself at the checkout counter attended by a friendly cashier. Their exchange began with the employee extending a warm greeting, asking, "How are you?" To this, Wardlow responded in kind, stating, "I'm doing good, how are you?"

Apart from his groceries, Wardlow's shopping items included two heart-shaped balloons and a delicate bouquet of roses, potentially prompting speculation that the cashier might have assumed these romantic gifts were intended for a special someone.

In a heartwarming twist, the cashier was unaware that Wardlow had caught wind of her candid confession that she intended to treat herself to flowers since no one else seemed inclined to do so.
