| Lentil Soup | |
| By Talisker | ||||||||||||||||
| 16 April 2007 | ||||||||||||||||

I started a job as a checkout assistant at the local Tesco hyperstore three weeks ago. My colleagues seem to hate the job - I LOVE IT! Anyway, this is the first of an intended "Check these Out" series. The morals of this one (for me) are; "Whatever you do, do it as good as you can" "Good service is about humanity" "Remember, some customers may not hear another kind word today - this may be their only real, human interaction" None of the above was covered during the induction day! (;->) Oli “Good afternoon madam!” She is laden with years. A tissue paper spectre in too many clothes. Yet sapphire eyes still betray a sassy lass. “How are you today?” I scan her bag of lentils then with my own eyes the cobalt veins on the back of her trembling hand. “Lentil soup? Yum, yum!” She sparkles again those baby-blues like ice aflame “Enjoy the sunshine” A nod and then a coin proffered, bridging the years Her thumb retains the indentation no elasticity “And the soup, of course!” Another smile flirtatious precious Oli 16/04/07
