20 The Blue Er whale friend. He had to play each game and read the directions carefully before he made the pur- chase. When I said Thank you each time I received his change, he replied, very dutifully, Yes, lVla'am. How I wanted to laugh, but you can't laugh at customers no matter how comical the situation is. Some people ask foolish, unreasonable ques- tions. One woman held up a small boy's suit and asked me if I thought it would Ht her lit- tle boy, who was in Canada. Thoroughly dis- gusted, I replied rather tartly that I didn't know her little boy. She gave me an offended look, but after you have spent six hours on your feet, waiting on all kinds of people, irritat- ing, patronizing, jolly, considerate, and incon- siderate people, you don't care what people think of you-at least 1 don't. Some of them rush up and down the aisles in a great haste, others dawdle about, not knowing what they want or having only a very vague idea. There are a few, a very few, people who know what they want and buy it Without first speculating as to whether it will wear well or if they can get it a few cents cheaper in Portland Cnever figuring their car- fare to and from Portlandj. Gradually the crowd thins out and the girls have a breathing space before they start re- plenishing their diminished stock. Then the last-minute customer comes dash- ing in and rips the whole counter fthat I have just filled and straightenedj apart in a frantic effort to find some object that she simply must have for Sunday. Someone always knocks at the door after it is locked, but is met with the polite but firm words, Sorry, madam, the store is closed, and she goes away muttering about the nerve and audacity of those clerks in colorful terms. The first bell rings and the cash is taken from the registers. The second bell rings and there is a mad scramble for the dressing room. We receive our pay envelopes with much satisfac- tion at the realization that we earn our own spending money. The drug store is the des- tination of most of the girls, where we promptly spend our pay on candy and other things that we don't need or want. People should try looking at themselves as a salesgirl sees them if they want a big, hearty laugh. K. Y. MACN., TH. KEEPING AMERICA AMERICAN America, discovered in the year 1492, ls the land that was made for you. You must, every day, do your best To help make America greater for the rest.
