INTERESTING CUSTOMER.  One lady purchased an anklet for ONE DOLLAR from us and said that it was for her mother.  She then asked "If it doesn't fit, can I bring it back?'   I said 'okay'.  Wow.   Now, you must be wondering if she came back, aren't you?  I should make it interesting and tell you that she did, but she did not.

My wife was away from the booth eating her lunch while I took care of our customers.  At 1:00, several lady's came over and purchased a dozen shoulder bags.  Today (Sunday) my wife and I were telling one another that we needed another customer like that today because sales were so slow. Yah, right.  I left for lunch at 1:00.  When I returned my wife told me that two of the lady's that bought shoulder bags on Saturday came back with friends and purchased another dozen.  DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!

 One of my friends purchased a bunch of sausages at a Chinese Food Store in Sacramento and planned to eat them over here.  He had placed them in his cooler packed with ice.  When he arrived here, he looked inside the cooler and the water was turning reddish.  It was coming from the sausages which were dyed with food coloring to make them look better.  He showed me a bunch of the sausages and they looked sick.  Disgusting.  That is a no-no.  I hope he turns these people in.  I wonder how many other food stores are doing this.  Maybe we all need to take a damp cloth with us when we buy food and rub it on the meat to see if it has been dyed.

 

Found somebody selling birch beer over there.  $6.00 for a mug.  I love birch beer, but you are not getting six bucks out of me for any kind of drink.  Looked like nobody else buying it either.  Saw people selling pepsi and water for $2.50.  What the hell do you think this is, a World's Fair or something? This was in Tyson Wells.  RIght, you are going to sell BB there for six bucks a pop.  People here are looking for two dozen socks for $6.00

 Looking for a place to park my motor home,I pulled up along a curb that looked pretty decent. There were signs that said 'no parking, violators will be towed'.  So I parked there and cut off my engine.  A minute later a yellow tow truck parks in front of me and begins to back up with its lights flashing.  I look at him...there's one of those tow hooks attached to the back of the truck.  So, I started thinking.... this guy is not really going to tow me. This little itty bitty truck was going to tow my motor home?  He backed up a couple feet....I backed up a couple feet.  He did it again and I backed up farther, giving myself enough room to get the hell out of there if he gets any closer.  He opened his door and began stepping out.  I backed up again.  He stood just outside his truck and I decided that I had better go find someplace else to wait for my friend because I might run  out of room to back up, etc.

 

 

NOISY NEIGHBORS. We stayed at Motel 6 and it wa extremely noisy.  It was an older motel that was probably converted to a Motel 6 quite awhile back.  You could hear everything next door and we had very noisy neighbors.   The sounds of trucks and cars could be heard throuhout the night.  Not much sleep for us. Our neighbors in the motel arrived at 10:10 and they made their presence known.  They were extremely loud, yelling back and forth at one another for several hours and made a lot of noise.  This went on until at least 2:00, when I was finally able to get to sleep.  They had absolutely no consideration for others.....often swearing at one another very loudly. 

 

THE PAYBACK.  I managed to get a few hours sleep until around 5:05.  My 'wake up call' came at 6:00 and I didn't pick up the phone..just let it ring.  I had another call five minutes later and then another one.  After I rolled out of bed, I flicked on the lights and went over and turned on the TV and turned it around facing their room.  I opened the refrigerator, slammed it shut.  Walked over to the coat rack.  Wow.  Nice metal hangers. I moved them back and forth creating loud squeeking, scraping noises.  Walked over and dropped my keys on the table several times.  Opened the door, slammed it shut.  Did the hangers again, bounced on the bed making loud squeaking sounds, slammed my keys on the table, did the hangers, opened the door and slammed it shut again.  We got dressed and before we left the room......  well, you know the routine.  Thought about leaving the TV on, but I didn't do it.

 A lady came into our booth with a cell phone sticking in her right ear.  She walked through our booth and continued talking.  She had the 'speaker' on and we could hear the other person talking.  Believe me, it was not an interesting conversation.  Not hot, not juicy....just kind of babbling. Louise did this...Helen did that.. Well anyways, she continued walking around, not even glancing at our stuff, but she just kept on talking and walking all around our booth....once, twice, three times...... still talking on the phone.  She just kept on going around in circles in our booth... It was crazy. In on one side, through the booth and out the other side. Walked around, entered again, etc.  Finally after 3 or 4 laps,  she finally left and walked down the aisle still talking, still babbling.  I certainly hope that she does not use her cell phone while driving or even crossing the street.
