why some people who come to my store have the need to impress me with their current or past jobs. why should i care what these people do or have achieved. i am talking about the ones who lie to me and try so hard to make themselves or their loved ones look greater than they really are. who am i to be impressed. do they get richer or their stature will suddenly go higher if i approve. this old english man for years was telling me that back in the old country he was a civil servant. later i found from his grandson that he was a london cabbie. or the woman who once told me that her son finally got a contract with one of the major movie companies and has finally got into show business. he later told me that the contract was a watchman contract manning the main entrance to the studio. or the old man who reminded me often that he was in hotels and restaurants. after his death i found out he lived in a tiny room at this cheap residential hotel and ate his meals at three different restaurants. may be i should start telling people that i am a reseller for some of america’s major multi million dollar companies. it sure beats being just a corner store shop keeper.
