  • The Equivalent Of A Spoonful Of Sugar

    I hope there is never a day when every one in the world has a computer and a cell phone.  I tend to enjoy hearing the words, “I don’t have a computer” or “I don’t have a smart phone” once in awhile when I’m required to ask if I can register a shopper for our…

  • Situations One & Two

    I’ve decided I could write an entire blog about working retail and dealing with people but having two blogs would be a lot of work which would take the enjoyment out of it.  This would possibly cause me to stop writing altogether and I really don’t want to do that so I’ve decided to just…

  • The $3.39 Apology

    The other day I picked up the phone at work and had a rather interesting discussion with the woman waiting on the other end of the line.  I learned that her 86 year old mother had a set of jersey sheets she absolutely loved but over time they had developed a few small holes.  I…

  • Bridging The Gap

    Moving to a city larger than any place I have ever lived has really opened my eyes.  You see and are exposed to so many things living in a small town doesn’t offer.  I tend to be most amazed by the wide variety of people I meet when I’m at work and the ones I…

  • Ruffled Feathers

    I’m not sure why anyone should ever have to leave our store in a bad mood and thankfully the forces of nature help me out when someone believes they have a reason to be upset.  Often times the bad mood will appear when their wait at the cutting counter or cash register has been too…

  • The Nicest Shade Of Lavender

    This world is so full of fascinating people, isn’t it?  Tonight I saw a woman with the nicest shade of lavender hair come strolling through the door of our store.  It was clear she knew what she wanted and where it was.  I didn’t see her again until she was unloading her items onto the…

  • What Are The Chances?

    I’m not exactly sure just how acquaintances become friends but I do  know how they don’t become friends and as fate would have it, I ran into two of those people that didn’t make my friend list this past Saturday and each situation had me a bit baffled, asking myself, “What are the chances?” I…

  • Andrea’s Precious Soul

    I wasn’t able to birth babies but the bond I share with three of my nieces is one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever enjoyed and I believe that what we share is the next best thing to actually bringing them into this world.  I’ve decided to share a story about each one and…

  • The Retail Truth

    As I raised my smoked turkey sandwich dangerously close to my mouth trap,  I caught sight of one of my co-workers running into the break room and she said,  in a rather exasperated tone, “I need a second before I go back out there!”  I would compare her demeanor to that of a person that…

  • A Slight Rise In My Left Eyebrow

    Do you ever have one of those days when you hear something and even though you know you heard what you think you heard you have a hard time convincing your brain it really is what was said?  That sentence may have sounded just a bit confusing but once you hear the comments that inspired…
