― Charles M. Schwab
Dressed in
all their orange finery, two women went to their favorite gourmet supermarket
for a Pumpkin Fest ― a pumpkin
tasting experience. To their
disappointment, there were only two stations with pumpkin items ― one employee making pumpkin pancakes
and another serving pieces of pumpkin pie.
Then along came the store manager to see how the pumpkin tasting was
going. The women told him that there
should be more pumpkin items to sample ―
like pumpkin salsa, so he told one of his employees to open the pumpkin salsa
and bring chips to go with it. Then one
of the women told him that she really wanted to taste the pumpkin whoopie
pies. "Go get the whoopie
pies," he told the woman, who grabbed the box of pumpkin whoopie pies and
held them triumphantly above her head as she called out to her other
friend. The store manager was patient,
friendly and kind ― even as the two pumpkin enthusiasts wreaked
mild havoc in his store. But the two
women suspected that he might have taken the next day off to recover from their
visit.
