I just want to know if anyone has had an uncomfortable moment involving a customer. Mine follows....In my defense, we do not have a sign on our house advertising our business....On Saturday, I spent some time with some friends and one of the kids was, uh, vomiting all afternoon. I was assured that she was "just lactose intolerant, don't worry." I should have worried.
Anyway, I had a very well dressed business woman pull into our driveway Monday. Having spent the entire day very close to the bath and bed, I was not feeling well, to put it mildly. First, I thought who is that? Second, I thought oh no, I don't feel well again. Third, I thought do I open the door or not? NO worries, my handsome hubby opened the door for her. There I stood in cutoffs, a wrinkled tshirt, barefoot and I am sure I was green. Hubby went back to cutting the grass without further thought.
The lady turned out to be a customer who was "in the neighborhood" - we live in the sticks - and needed a gift for her daughter's 20th wedding anniversary. So, I kept my urge to purge in check, made a fantastic presentation, she ordered a custom gift and off she went.
She will pick up her order on Friday.
Please tell me someone else out there has had an embarrassing moment.:rolleyes:
