Came
to
buy
an
instrument.
The
salesperson,
possibly
the
owner,
was
'very
busy'.
Okay.
I
get
it.
We
all
have
those
days.
So
I
tried
to
be
accommodating.
Simply
tell
me
a
time
to
come
back
that
works
for
you.
He
told
me
to
come
back
the
following
day
when
they
opened.
So,
when
I
arrived
at
the
time
he
gave,
there
were
already
lessons
underway,
waiting
parents,
and
a
customer
or
two
in
the
store.
That's
okay.
Not
the
end
of
the
world.
I
can
wait.
Yet
this
salesperson/owner's
manner
toward
me,
grew
noticeably
more
perturbed
over
the
course
of
the
half-hour
that
I
stood
there.
Quietly
waiting.
Trying
to
see
it
from
his
point
of
view,
waiting
as
he
rushed
from
giving
a
lesson,
while
mom
waited,
to
other
customers.
As
he
closed
a
sale
with
two
young
ladies,
not
even
waiting
for
them
to
pick
up
their
purchases
to
leave,
he
snapped,
"So
are
you
getting
the
guitar
or
what?"
And,
when
I
didn't
plow
over
the
ladies
who
were
still
in
the
process
of
picking
up
their
purchases
to
leave
the
sales
counter,
he
immediately
followed
up
with,
"okay
then,
well
I
need
to
get
back
to
my
student!"
Not
the
end
of
the
world.
I
am
sure
this
store
is
a
hallmark
in
the
community,
and
if
you
are
a
parent
or
a
budding
young
musician,
you
will
be
handled
with
the
utmost
care
and
consideration.
However...
Well,
fortunately,
at
least
for
my
sake,
there
are
other
stores
in
South
Dakota
where
I
will
be
afforded
a
modicum
of
civility.
A
two
or
three
hour
drive
is
a
small
price
to
pay.
