On her first day, Debbie made just about every mistake in the . She charged the wrong prices for items, she gave the wrong bag of food to the wrong customer, and she and broke a half gallon of milk. The torture（折磨）of watching her fighting her way was too much for me. I went into my father’s office and said, “Please go out there and put her out of her misery（苦恼）.” I him to walk right into the store and let her go away from our store.
Since my father’s office was situated within view of the sales counter, he had surely what I was talking about. He sat, , for a moment. Then he got up from his desk and walked over to Debbie, who was standing behind the counter.
“Debbie,” he said, as he put his hand on her shoulder. “I have been watching you all day, and I saw how you Mrs. Forbush.”
Debbie’s face turned red and
tears began to in her eyes as she tried hard to
remember Mrs. Forbush from the many women she had given the wrong change to or
drop off her milk onto the floor.
My father continued, “I’ve never seen Mrs. Forbush be
so to any one of my employees before
.
You really knew how to deal with her. I am sure that she is going to want you
to her every time she comes in. Keep up the good
work.”
