Painting someone's nails surely qualifies as work. But that's how Walmart cashier Ebony Harris spent her break during a shift last week after learning a woman with cerebral palsy had been refused service at a nail salon within the Walmart in Burton, Mich., because her hands shake. "They denied me because they said I moved too much," 36-year-old Angela Peters, who uses a wheelchair, tells WNEM. But Harris didn't think so. "I've helped her shop a couple of times. I just wanted to do her nails and I didn't want her day to be ruined," she tells ABC News.

She's getting high praise as a result: "Her service to customers defines the spirit of Walmart, and we couldn't be more proud," the company says after a photo of the nail-painting session, snapped by a bystander moved to tears, went viral on Facebook. Read more
