This just blew my mind!
I saw a promo on NBC for America's Got Talent and it featured a contestant that I'm 95% certain was a cashier at the Jersey City A&P (near Target) within the past 6 months. She was memorable to me because she was unusually subdued and friendly at the A&P.

OMG - I was on the phone last night with my friend who also lives in JC, and while on the phone with him, that commercial aired. I IMMEDIATELY recognized her as the eccentric, articulate, gray-haired cashier from the A & P!!!

Carol Lugo -- a longtime Hamilton Park resident, born and raised in Jersey City -- is our "talented" friend's name. And, yes, she is the nicest cashier ever at the A&P.
Carol is supremely kind and extremely humble, the sweetest of souls. [The auditioning process has been so long, and requiring of absolute discretion. When the TV crew recently visited to shoot her biographical video, Carol was eager, if adorably nervous, because her co-workers and neighbors would finally learn of her top-secret quest.] We are excited for her well-deserved opportunity in the spotlight. Good luck, Carol!!!

The minute she walked on stage I said I knew er but couldnt figure out how I knew her. When they said that she was a supermarket cashier it all clicked.
Good job!!

Amazing. I adore this woman, she's been at the A&P for a decade at least and I'm always amazed at how pleasant and collected she is. There's an aura of calm about her (plus she always helps me out when I forget my A&P bonus card.

Yes, we didn't see the promo but watched the show. As soon as Carol came on my hubby said, Hey that's the cashier from A&P. Her performance was cute and energetic and I am glad she is going to Las Vegas!

She is the best. I'm still a little new to the area... 16 months but A&P is the only place to shop and this women stands out as the most plesant cashier thta I have yet to come across. Most cashiers are either talking on their cell phones or the other cashers but this woman blew me awway with how nice and genuine she was. Good for her.

yeah they posted this on hoboken411 a few weeks ago so i've been keeping my eye out for the show.
there are a lot of nice people at A&P. Luis, the produce guy is super nice, as is Mary who works the cashier. Both of them know my children by name. The guy behind the fish case is very nice as well, but I forget his name. And the cheese guy is also super friendly.

Love her. She's been at A&P forever and is always so kind. Who knew she could move like that? Love the video. Made my day.

It's nice to see a local talent on television but that really doesn't look too impressive at least in my opinion. Just looks like she is wobbling around aimlessly on stage, not a winner in my books.

Carol is one of the nicest people I have ever gotten the chance to meet. No matter what promotion is going on for donations at A&P (MDA-March of Dimes-Children's Hopsital or to help fight childhood cancer) she is always asking for customers to help donate to someone who needs the help. Carol thinks of others before she thinks of herself. Carol is always there when you need her!
When we first met Carol she would talk about how much she loves to dance. WE'RE very glad that she is living out her dream to dance and sharing it with others. YOU GO CAROL WE LOVE YOU GURL!!!! WE WISH YOU LUCK!!!!! AND WE LOVE YOU!!!! KEEP MAKING IT HAPPEN CAROL!!! WE'RE VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!! WE HOPE YOUR DREAMS OF CONTINUING YOUR CAREER IN DANCING COME TRUE................. YOU DESERVE IT!!! LOVE YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY AT A&P JERSEY CITY Stacy

Management at the A&P seems to think that Carol is probably performing live this Tuesday evening. She seems like a really nice lady. Competition on this show seems to be pretty intense and it is great that she has gotten this far. Good luck to her and I hope she has a blast in Hollywood.

Carol is patient & kind, and she is also the best customer anyone could ever have.
Carol, if you read this, I think you are wonderful. I see now what you were trying to do. I'm glad that I was able to help you. ![]()

Was in there today again at their coffee bar and they had a nice note about her at the register. Maybe it would be nice if the local media did a little "feel good" story about her.
From all I've heard her pleasant manner is a welcome change from much of the rude service that many of us seem to encounter all to often.

Thanks for that link. The article says that viewer voting {by phone I think or probably internet also} determines which acts go forward in the competition. If her act is good enough I'll vote for her as much as I can to help her out. I have my doubts about whether her act can win the grand prize but it would be nice to extend her vacation. Maybe she can get a tv commercial or some other gig as a result of her act.
