Stuff like this really doesn't happen to me on a daily basis:
A man enters my store...dressed in an Affliction shirt/Lucky Brand Jeans kinda metro hair and a bit more than a 5 o'clock shadow. Asks to speak to the proprietor of the business...associate finds me and I speak to the man. (Usuaully I am conveniently busy for solicitors). He leads off with a quick but friendly introduction and purpose. He's going door to door promoting his CD. I asked him a few things and bought the cd (it's jazz...I normally don't "do" jazz). But, good luck to him...we know it's tough out there
