How Does Your Garden Grow?

 

Momma went to the local seed store some years ago to purchase all the seed and plants she needed for her garden.  Momma is 74 years old.

Here is the conversation:

Clerk:  Yes, how may I help you?

Momma:  I’d like some seed to plant corn in my garden.

Clerk:  How much do you need?

Momma:  About 3 rows.

Clerk:  (After pondering her comments) Ok – how long are your rows?

Momma and the clerk busted out in laughter.

Momma’s experience at the seed store reminded me of my experiences at other places of business.  You see I grew up believing that I was the customer and should be treated like one.  The clerk was patient, kind, and helpful to my mother and she appreciated it.  Oh how often I have observed others in similar situations treated rudely as if the customer was “bothering” the clerk.

Hmmmm.  Something to ponder on.
