Acknowledging her made all the difference
When I shopping one day, the person helping me was clearly in a foul mood. Considering I hate clothes shopping, it was a precarious situation. I took a deep breath, smiled, and told her she seemed tired, was everything ok? She poured out her heart about how she was working two jobs and going to…
