In the middle of a castle in Wales, my sister hears her name. A couple of children from the school where she was a librarian recognized her and just had to tell her everything about their trip. So, it is a small world! Concerning the customer service issue - I went to Target today to get some small storage tubs. Plenty of tops and 2 broken bottoms. I decided to test the phone system at the end of the row and .... someone showed up within a minute, called the back room to see if there were any, the back room guy brought a case of them out and took the broken ones away. While walking to the checkout, one guy's lane was closed, but he waved me in to check me out. I guess it depends on the city & manager...

I can't begin to tell you the number of times I've run into people with connections to this small town I've lived in for 39 yrs. And in the oddest places too. My daughter was sitting in the Orlando, FL airport when she heard about the death of her kindergarten teacher here in town. The teacher lived a block from us & she heard about it in Florida before I did here. Better yet, she heard about it from some people from Ewing, a little town 10 mi. from here. The world is indeed a small place. I tell you Judy, there’s no getting away from people you know.

My dad always told me to be careful what I said, half the people I was related to, the rest of them we've known all our lives. But a carefully composed constructive criticism (your blog post) will help them see it from the other side of the counter! If you are one person shopping, look at all the sales they lost. Think how many times a day that may be happening. ROFL–I grew up and live in a little midwest town.
