No, I think I see what denim is getting at.
There still are places out there that actually do appreciate that you came in today...rather than repeat thankyoucomeagain, like an automaton.
There still are places where the clerks not only know where something is, but they'll actually show you...rather than pointing you toward aisle 54A.
There still are places that have employees that have knowledge in the product that they sell...not just how to work the cash register.
And, believe it or not, there still are still places where the grocery baggers (yes, I said grocery baggers...the guys who bag your groceries for you) still wear white button down shirts and ties.
Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Albertson's just want my money...nothing more. The corner shop down the street wants my business, and those are the places that I try to support with my dollars. Although, it gets harder and harder, as these places become fewer and fewer. It'll be a sad day when there is no more "Haney Shoe Store" or "Kiedel Hardware" or "Bill's Grocery" and when the last of the privately owned businesses closes its doors for good.
