       When you're younger, you look forward to growing up and gaining respect. I remember the first time being called "Sir". Then you get to a certain age, and it becomes a bit depressing.Nice young lad yesterday up the garden centre obviously thought I was about to keel over any minute. He put three bags of stones on my trolley and then:"Would you like me to push that for you?""Would you like me to load those in your car for you?"I struggled on my own because I still have a bit of pride. 😉 🤣

       @dick_turpin Ah, that's his job. They were asking me and my late partner similar questions 20 years ago when i also turned them down!One thing that made me ponder though: if you needed their help loading it into the car, how were they expecting you to get it back out again once you'd got home? Or is that the gardening boy's job?

       @greenjimll Like any good salesperson: Once you've paid and fooked off it's not my problem. 😉 🤣

       @greenjimll About ten years ago, I had a brain fart and bought this huge statue about five feet tall. It took two of us to get it in the car. Obviously, when I got home, we were screwed, and I had to get my neighbour to help me.The next morning I woke up, looked out the window and shit myself: "Who the fook is that in the garden!" Of course, the statue went back in the afternoon.

       @greenjimll LOLOne habit I had drummed into me is: Once a sale is completed, forget about it.They say a good salesperson is only as good as their last sale, but the problem with that is people will cling to it like a life buoy. A former boss, who I hated and would piss on his grave if I knew where it was, did, I grudgingly admit,  pass on a couple of good mantras. One was: "When someone bangs on about a past success, respond with. That was yesterday; what do you intend to do today?"
