Back to Banalities

Does anything go smoothly anymore? Not gonna make this into a b..... session but where are peoples' common courtesies? Yes, Amy and I are trying to get Modern Mermaids Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products into Whole Foods (as we are told almost daily by our customers) and yes, we have tried to make contact and NO! they don't get back to us as we are basic peons with product and unless I go in sans panties with a miniskirt and stand on my head I'm not getting anywhere with some of these buyers. We write, we call, we go in the store put our bottles on the shelf and run (Amy's been arrested twice) and still they don't want our stuff! So how in the world do we get on a shelf?!

That's where the courtesy question comes in.....It used to be that people got back to you by the end of the day, now with Blackberries, email, phones that do laundry and walk your dog, you'd think that people would get back to people and that's all we are, guys.... people! Whether you're a buyer for a major store or the guy outside sweeping the sidewalk, all jobs are important and have meaning! We all go through life and wind up in the ground at the end (or scattered, frozen, etc), we all have to breathe prior to that last part and WE ALL KNOW THAT IT'S NICE TO CALL OTHERS BACK BEFORE THE END OF THE DAY! There, I feel better now that I've vented. Time to go get that miniskirt on........
