I stopped at the High Spirits bar last night to have a cocktail and this happily drunken lady approached me and said "your that TP (company I work for) lady that I'm so jealous of." I was kind of taken by surprise! I asked her what she was talking about and she said that her husband had passed away 2 years ago and he talked about me all the time. I had no idea who she was talking about of course, so I asked for a photograph. She pulled one out of her purse and to my surprise, I remembered him! I am trained in my job to know what kind of car my customers drive, what brand of cigarettes they smoke, what they like to drink....... Habits and such. This guy was a NASCAR fan like me. It is just my nature to flip people shit when we have something in common. Kinda like friendly rivalry...... He was a Rusty Wallace fan, I'm a Jimmie Johnson fan...... I was so sad to hear he passed away! I was promoted almost 4 years ago and he was a regular customer at my old store. I had no idea I meant so much to him. She said he smiled every time he came home and had a funny story to tell about the girl at the store he stops at every day. It made me feel good but brought tears to my eyes to know that I made a difference in someones life. I live to make people smile but I didn't even know this guys name, just saw him every day...... He paid with cash, never a check or credit card...... I guess I need to pay more attention. He is not here anymore, but I now have a new friend. His wife is a sweetheart!
