Mom records Trader Joe's employees dancing for her toddler having tantrum at checkout

WATCH: Toddler's tantrum at Trader Joe's soothed by impromptu dance by check-out staff

When a toddler had a mini meltdown in a Trader Joe's checkout line, three employees came to the mom's rescue with an impromptu song and dance.

Alexandra Seba captured the moment on video when the workers broke out in song to distract her 1-year-old son, Julian Sol.

The episode began when Julian Sol tried to grab a kid's cart from his older sister, 3-year-old Jade.

"Jade had finished pulling all the groceries off her big girl cart," Seba of Altamonte Springs, Florida, told "Good Morning America." "[Julian Sol] wanted to take her cart and take off with it, but I wasn't letting him. He threw a tantrum and one of the workers just starting singing."

"It made me feel great," Seba said of the positive response to her video. "Moms have a secret pact. We're a group of women that support each other no matter the differences. We all have kids [who] all have tantrums and we all need help."
