Leave it to me to find a carpet showroom that has been open a week, with my cohort in tow and us being the third customers to cross the threshold.
Who knew my friend and I would be held hostage by the owner, eager to relay his successful sales story? To be fair, he was out retrieving cream for his coffee when we arrived. His lovely sales associate, new to the job, was eager to help us. “Pristina” was patient and kind, and when the owner arrived, we both exclaimed, “Did you bring enough coffee for us?”
He had a Keurig, made each of us our choice of roasted blend, offered cream, and was quite lovely. It just took a long time to get out from under the history of carpet and the business. At least I’m finally looking for the replacement options in the pet-and-child loved flooring of our home. That friendly business experience has spurred me forward.
To infinity and beyond!
