te·na·cious tuesday…
Later on in my bookstore visit the other day, I sat down to skim a few books I didn’t want to purchase. But before that, I went to the checkout counter to ask where I would pick up a book that I reserved on line.
The cashier, a middle- aged woman, said in the back at Customer Service. Mind you, I’d just come from that desk when the employee ignored me( Face to face or over the phone). When I did get some help, the book was at the front of the store with the middle aged woman, that I’d clearly just asked 5 mins prior about.
I looked at her already not in the best mood and I wanted to give her a little piece of my mind. But, I didn’t. I gave her a half smile (Kermit the frog my friends and I call it), and I sought out a table and chair to read in, plus it was a Sunday.
All the while, I was thinking why would she tell me the book was in the back and she knew the reserved books were with her? I’d been reading and skimming for about 20 minutes when she was standing before me.
She started with I am soooooo sorry. I misunderstood you. She said I’ve been looking all over the store for you. I wanted you to know that I was sorry. I was happy she found me. I felt vindicated.
I try to be a good person. I try to think before just letting my cannon shoot all types of unplesantries to just any and everybody. I remember that everyone is going through something. I am not the only one with things on my mind.
I am so glad God and whatever he is working on me with, kept me from being rude and disrespectful. I have said before that I am far from the person I want to be. I want to be a better person and I will be. I now know that my restraint is not in vain.
she was lucky this time… next time however, * rubs hands sinisterly * it’s personal! excellent
