Humor: That Time Mr. Clean Came to Visit

I was helping a customer on a Saturday, and she had brought her husband along to pick up her new wedding band. While they were sitting there checking out, her husband asked if he could use our restroom. Typically, I don’t let the public use our restroom, but they were nice and spending some money on an expensive band, so I said sure. I hear him wrestling around in there, and he was in there for almost 20 minutes. By the time he came out, I had already rung her up and we were just shooting the breeze waiting for him. They said thank you and left, so I went in to check the damage. Turns out the guy found the Clorox wipes, cleaned the facility first, then got himself his own new toilet paper roll, made himself at home and did his business. I have never seen this in our store before and didn’t know what to think. At first, I thought, ‘Who does this?’ But then I couldn’t help but laugh that he made himself at home. At least he was clean! — Marc M., Midland, TX

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
