# 59 Montgomery Village - 3:50 p.m. - Home
I love it when people just start talking to me like they've known me forever. There is just something warm and comforting about that. It's like they trust you and know you will respond in a positive way, and I always do.
This lady, who had a strong New Jersey accent, had obviously been Christmas shopping. She had two very large bags from Ross and wanted to know where the closest Dollar Store was located. We were sitting very near Lakeforest Mall so I told her about the one in the Mall. She said all she wanted was some very inexpensive ribbon for her gifts. She continued to expound on her philosophy on why people look down on others who shop in dollar stores. We concluded that everyone shops there, even rich folks! I know I've seen a Coach Bag or two in a Dollar store before.
We also shared a good laugh when she told me that she wished she could get rid of her husband long enough to wrap his gifts. She said, "I wish the man would just get lost for a little while!" "Why must he just keep hanging around?" "When will he have time to buy my gift?!" Too funny...

Well...it's off to job #2. Someone took the time to tell me my hair was beautiful as he was rushing to his connecting bus. That compliment will get me through my second job with a smile.

It's far from warm, now. ;)
