I was working the front by myself. “I don’t know why I’m here, you can’t help me.” “Well, I know a lot, and I have a computer for our inventory and one for our distributor, if you can remember 1 or 2 words, we have a good shot.” “Yeah, but I don’t know the author, you can’t help me.” We went round and round like that for 10 minutes, finally dragged it out of him and found it in the distributor system: “How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing with People”. “Ordinarily it would take a couple of days to get this, let me expedite that for you, it will be here tomorrow.” He never picked it up. 😟
True story:
Dead Wednesday. I was working the front by myself.
“I don’t know why I’m here, you can’t help me.”
“Well, I know a lot, and I have a computer for our inventory and one for our distributor, if you can remember 1 or 2 words, we have a good shot.”
“Yeah, but I don’t know the author, you can’t help me.”
We went round and round like that for 10 minutes, finally dragged it out of him and found it in the distributor system:
“How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing with People”.
“Ordinarily it would take a couple of days to get this, let me expedite that for you, it will be here tomorrow.”
He never picked it up. 😟
