I will shortly be finishing my fourth year working as a Professional Consumer Multiple Purchases Packaging Specialist at one of the large supermarkets here in Eau Claire. One of the things I enjoy the most about this great part-time job is that I get to work with a lot of high school and college students. But one thing I have definitely noticed during those four years is that our young people just don't know how to slow down. The cashiers I work with have just one speed and that is fast. It is just speed, speed, speed. I have talked to several of them about slowing down once in a while but they say they don't know how to slow down. I think this is because the young people today have grown up in such a speed oriented society and they have never experienced the slow pace of Mayberry. Everything in their lives is based on speed. 4G this and 4G that. High speed internet, and now there is even speed dating. I can tell you one thing, there was never speed dating when I was young. Sometimes it took me months, or even years to get a date. Most of the kids I work with even talk and walk very fast. We have one young gal named Rose. One day I walked up and stood beside her and started sniffing. She asked me what I was doing. I told her that I was just taking the time to smell the roses. That one cracked her up.
By the way there are a number of supposedly original set items from TAGS that are on auction on EBay. There is an ash tray, and orange juice glass used by Opie, some dishes from Aunt Bea, and other items. Very pricey, but there is a disclaimer saying they are authentic items from the Andy Griffith Show set. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
