Hey


I went to thrift store and a gentleman was looking at Hoover.  I said can I do something and show you a few things.  He said"sure do you work here?"

I am not good at quoting conversations.  I took out folded cardboard in the hose.  I showed him attachments and how to use the power nozzle.  He asked if it was a good vacuum.  I laughed and said I put cardboard in machine yesterday so nobody would buy it.  It's a great machine and it's a vacuum I'd buy.  He asked if I wanted it.  I told him no sir I want you to buy it.  I just like to help people understand how to use vacuums.  I told him I collect fix and sell vacuums.  I looked at every vacuum there and told him about each one.  I said the one you got is really nice.  He was using for his house.  He wanted one for his storage unit.  I showed a smaller eureka with dust bin.  I explained it's good because if you suck up a quarter it won't ruin the motor.  He said thank you very much and shook my hand. 

I didn't get it but I fixed clog and showed him how to use it.  I felt bad for sabatoging a vacuum.  I'm glad he understood how to use the vacuum.

The store was restocked but I swear it was like black Friday with groves of people.  The only things left were two Bissell shampooers with no water basin and a Bissell with a shot motor.
