That helped me, more than probably any other growing-up experience, learn how to deal with people, both pleasant and not so. I isisted that all our children have at least some experience in retail (and food service!). Today, they're already grateful for having done it.Moogie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665429537064900337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193860341876403275.post-37301401678167625512011-08-01T09:45:25.019-05:002011-08-01T09:45:25.019-05:00Good story, Andy.

In my business, I see a lot of "me, me, me" and "right now!" Don't worry about later! Get's frustrating sometimes, but little gems like your Dad's story helps! Keep it up! Have a great week!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270337983441303391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193860341876403275.post-12057712374344190192011-07-31T14:30:17.285-05:002011-07-31T14:30:17.285-05:00Hey, thanks, y'all.

I did not realize at the time how important the concepts of those lessons were.<br /><br />I figured it out later on.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I have not ALWAYS taken them to heart...always to my own detriment.<br /><br />He's my hero.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193860341876403275.post-37123286836601055022011-07-31T14:04:31.503-05:002011-07-31T14:04:31.503-05:00There's nothing funny about it.

They're all into themselves and always choose the expedient route not the one best for the country. <br /><br />BTW.
