It was a hot Phoenix day, we just got off a long Harley ride. The salesman first ignored us and not liking that I told him what we were looking for, he showed us everything but what I wanted...cheap and cheaper junk. I asked him why he wasn't showing me the stuff I wanted. He looked at us and said look at yourselves and tell me...Jerry flipped out the cash and said,'look & this and let me see a manager so you can explain how you just lost the store a sale.' So many people do wonderful things and we must get beyond the looks thing!Quiltingrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885973879588867172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040223448706025231.post-69010279800850304442011-07-02T11:22:23.039-07:002011-07-02T11:22:23.039-07:00Glad you found the book thought provoking and insp...Glad you found the book thought provoking and inspiring. There are so many prefudices out there today. Some big...some small. Working with the public I see it all the time. I try to teach the young girls working for me to look past the outside. That obese woman who comes in and buys lots of flannel fabric is battling an illness but makes blankets for the hospital to wrap stillborn babies in so parents can hold them. That lady with the burns all over suffers terribly and there is no need to stare or make nasty remarks. She works with others who have disfigurements so they can get on with their lives. The customer who doesn't want one of the girls to wait on her because she thinks she looks like a vampire. She is pale skinned and has black hair, very intelligent young woman who speaks three languages, paints, plays beautiful music and is attending college and she has epilepsy and donates time on campus helping people understand the condition and what to do if they see someone have a seizure.<br />Pass the books on to whomever you choose. May God bless them each with something as they read them.Daynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13170274597430526611noreply@blogger.com
