A Casual Conversation
So I just got back from our local dollar store, which I have to say, is the best one I've ever been to. It just recently opened and the moment you walk in your welcomed by a refreshing and cool sense that feels far from any warehouse or Walmart feel. Today was much like any other. I walked around the store a bit, browsing for anything that I MUST get because there always is something. Of course I found that one thing, which happened to be a package of photo paper. It may surprise you but the photo paper at the dollar store is amazing and only costs... you guessed it! A dollar! So with my package of photo paper and two sheets of poster board, I made my way to the cash register. As I was walked up I was greeted by the nicest cashier I have ever met. She smile and asked how I was doing and I in return asked her how she was doing (the usual routine) but this time instead of getting a cold hearted "good" I received a well-meant "Great!" She went on to talk about how she got the next day of and would be off in ten minutes. The conversation continued and we talked about the photo paper and how amazing it is (see it really is great) and how to get a blotch of ink off my finger. Nothing too spectacular happened but everything she said was genuine and I didn't feel like I was putting her out by buying something. It's crazy how much we take genuine happiness in costumer service for granted.

Ahem. Three things. Onely: I love that you have a blog. Blogs are cool (much like bow ties) and this one is brilliant. Twooly: what exactly is photo paper and why is it SO great? Threely: I was a little sad that you didn't say HOW one removes a blotch of ink off one's finger (but I'm glad you said blotch; it's a great word.
ReplyDeleteAnd fourthly: I lied. There are four things. Great post.
