Texting
Well it's been a year since my last "Customers at the shop type post",which was inspired by a fellow blogger,and friend,so I got a few short stories together.My first post about work was a little dull so I deleted it ,but I think this post should be somewhat amusing.
A customer had come in the other day,and was ording for someone else, they brought his shirt,but weren't quite sure of the spelling of some of the words, so they pull out the cell phone, and I think he's just going to give him a quick call,and find out what exactly the person wants on the shirt.
(The fact that we allow people to bring in their own items,makes for good story telling, in itself so I'll organize a list,haha I remember coming in for work,and there hanging in the back of our shop is the front part of a lawnmower.haha)
Nope,haha he sends him a text, so we wait...and wait...and wait then I let them know that the wait would be 5:00(it was about 1:00 when I told them)
O, we can't wait that long he'll have to come later,and get it himself. haha people are so funny about waiting, you have people that a few minutes are in eternity,and some that are surprised at how quick,and effective we are,in fact that very same day we had a couple who brought aprons,thinking it would take a week,(it normally takes in hour for what they wanted) so it goes to show you that it takes all kinds to make a world.
Now back to the subject of texting like it,or not Texting does have it's advantages, For instance last year we had took an order for a deaf person who is unable to use a phone,but due to texting we were able to communicate to her when her order would be done, she had texted me that a couple of her friends(who are both deaf) were going to come pick up her order.
Now when I went to Unitech one of the things
one of my teachers showed us was basic sign language, So when her friend came,and tapped
on the counter for a piece of paper I raised up my hands,and started signing "You here"...then her,and the person she was with,both got very excited,and was hanging on my every word(well in a since anyways).
I started having trouble making one of the signs and they started shaking their heads that they understood what I was trying to say, After they left I felt very good,be able to use something you know to be a blessing to someone else is Great thing.
