| - Well, the tax return is in the bank, and it's time to buy lots of house upgrades. So I grabbed my list and headed for Menards. I walked into the store at 2 o'clock on a Monday, figuring things would not be too busy. First up is lighting for outside the garage. I walked past the "Help Desk" with a guy in his apron. Stood in the aisle by all the lights. 15 minutes later I walked by the guy with his apron and moved on to the window coverings. Oh, did I mention that he never got out from behind the "Help-less Desk" to see if I had any questions? NOT!
Well, it's on to the Window Coverings area, where I had a couple of things on my list. I know what I want to buy, but, again, blew 15 minutes rooting through the displays without finding what I need. Oh this time there were 2 sales types with aprons standing there chatting. Do I detect a pattern here?
Next up, is a handful of things in the garden department. Along the way I passed 4 or 5 Apron types without anyone offering a smile or asking if I need help. The Garden Department is rather large as is my list. I wandered through the aisles past 3 Apron types looking for things, but by this time my patience is running thin. I decided to leave.
On my way to the exit, I passed a couple of Apron types and not a one acknowledged me. Hey, I get it. I am invisible! Next stop is Victoria's Secret to offer a hand in the changing rooms. Being invisible does have advantages!
