“Do You Work Here?”

About the Book

This work is an accumulation of episodes occurring between Customers, Management, and Salespersons, Some humorous, Some witty, and Some frustrating. It is the goal of the author to share them with the intent of bringing a smile to the readers face, or a belly laugh, to tickle your endorphins. So much so, that the writer, who is a published author, and an Ordained Non-Denominational Clergyman, has been encouraged and inspired to write a compilation of the episodes presented herewith. If the episodes are well received, and bring forth laughter, then the goal has been achieved. Consistent with research done, in preparation for publication, and to the best of the Author’s knowledge, there is nothing comparable to this work today in the public Marketplace. Dear reader, you are encouraged to read these humorous and witty episodes, to ease tension, reduce anxiety, and stress, enjoy, and LAUGH! The Author would be negligent and remiss in Pastoral responsibility if the following Scriptural Statement was not included: God Sent His Son So That We May Have Eternal Life; He That Does Not Believe In Christ Does Not Have Eternal Life. Scripture: John 3:16-18 KJV (Paraphrase) No God, No Peace; Know God, Know Peace.
