I totally am posting because it is funny!!! And it also shows how we as volunteers are professionals and always have a smile. :)
On Saturday, I was asked to go to every vendor and ask if they would be willing to keep their booth open late, if there were still customers. Most vendors were very willing, saying "I will stay here till midnight if I am making money". As I approached one particular vendor, he was asleep in his chair. I decided to not disturb him and moved on. When I came back 10 minutes later he seemed to be awake. I nicely asked him my question, I was not ready for his response. He was angry and said he was not selling anything and will NOT stay later. With a smile on my face, I tried to encourage him. All I got was a lecture on insurance laws about booth rules. Of course I thought of a million things I could have said to him. "Maybe if you were awake you would have more customers. Positive attitudes bring positive results. Take that frown and turn it upside down". ECT! I hope his weekend was all that he wanted it to be.
