Precisely.
And did you think about the fact that the till monkey might not have a mum either? What about all the other people who've lost mums - did you think about them all the years you were happy to celebrate and talk about Mothers Day yourself?

Gestures like the one that lady and her daughter made to you are beautiful and restorative. But much more important are the respectful, thoughtful and non-assumptive ones we should be making on a daily basis.
