Rep Power: 10 | I love trying new things. When I go grocery shopping I like to see if I can convince people to buy new products. It's amazing if you talk up a product people will buy it. Just a game but an interesting insight to people's personalities.

Rep Power: 10 | I have been but now retired from the corporate world. Have fun selling to people even when I'm not employed by anyone.

Rep Power: 10 | Yesterday was a fun shopping trip. I was at the wine department and an elderly man couldn't find the wine he wanted. I not only found what he wanted but suggested another that he bought.
There was an elderly woman waiting and after he left she said, "Now that you have helped him, could you help me? I want a few wines from Australia." I so enjoy doing this that I took quite a bit of time and selected two different ones for her. She bought 4 bottles of each and was very thankful for the advice.
Then, this woman stopped me to ask where the Bisquick was. I showed her and then we exchanged recipes for pie crust. She then showed me where I could find the pumpkin in a can.
I love grocery shopping!

Rep Power: 10 | You know I have had several elderly people I have either asked something or they have asked me. Sometimes I think they do not have anyone else to talk to at home and they enjoy the conversation while they are out. Kinda sad, but it's only takes a few minutes to make their day, and that is nice.  | |

Rep Power: 10 | I agree. They are so delightful to speak with. I've noticed the men still love to flirt and it is so cute.
I try and make at least one person smile everyday. It doesn't take much and it gives both of us a good feeling.

Rep Power: 10 | I can't send my husband if he can't find something he won't ask for it, and he changes some things to suit himself without knowing the reasoning on my list. I told him to bring home vanilla ice cream once and he brings chocolate. I had made apple pie.  | |

Rep Power: 10 | I never bring mine with me. He likes to stop occasionally and pickup a few things. He buys things that I would not buy like gum drops or something sweet from the candy bins. He also buys in quantity. If I say I need a can of something, he brings home three. However, he always buys me flowers on those trips  . I'm blessed!
