    Around that time a real employee walks up and listens intently (usually because HE'S learning something he didn't know!)

    Lots of times the customer thanks me for the information and gives the employee the look of "thanks for the non-help bozo - I FINALLY got my answer".
    Actually, Krupski, that's what you get when you look knowledgeable and look like you know what you're doing....

    Found this article while I was browsing other stories. It explains a lot of the Wookie's "racist" incident at Target.

    @BrewCityPatriot @ChuckCJohnson No one gets within 20 ft of her.
    They don't, however, say WHY no one gets close to her.......

    My wife made an interesting comment that I had nearly forgotten. Almost every time I venture into Home Depot or Lowes, people approach me for assistance. I however, being humble, do not consider it a racist or a demeaning thing, more as a compliment to my keen discernment, and a capacity for sound judgment, that even strangers come to me for my advice.... or,,,,,, I look like an old worn out carpenter

    The title alone makes me laugh. It implies Obama is capable of helping to begin with, which I think gives him too much credit.

    I wonder what Obama would think about the fact that Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton staff asked military officers at White House functions to wait tables.
