Salt
Salt. Ice melt. Whatever you want to call it is at a premium in my area right now. My city has been having lots of freezing rain and such. And everyone is out of salt. I tried to get some yesterday and then called my friend and pastor, Mark, to see if he had any. He didn't. But today, he called to tell me that a local nursery had sold some for cost to people. He snagged the last two bags -- one for his family and one for me!
I was really impressed with the nursery selling it for cost. I had jokingly told Mark he probably could have sold my bag on the "black market" for good money. Actually, a guy at work walked into a little store yesterday and asked if they had salt. They said they didn't. He asked, "Do you want some?" I guess there was instant silence among the cashier and a couple customers. Then they said, "Yes!" He said, "Me too!" I guess he knew them . . . .
I'll have to remember that nursery. I don't do a lot of planting, but they probably deserve my business . . . .

I do that too, pay back stores, etc that go above and beyond in the times of need. Even if their product is a little over priced. Usually when I get there to purchase I find out I was wrong, though!
About your blog before this...sometimes I like being invisible. But, then again, I'm not in retail. Mostly not in retail because of the thankless people...Viscious cycle!
