It was really a great experience selling Street Sense through the rough winter we had this year.The customers were really amazed at the fact I was out there at Farragut North Metro every weekday even in the snow, rain and freezing cold.
I really enjoyed being out there for them to get their copies of Street Sense. Some time they would bring hot chocolate or coffee of tea to keep me warm. One guy would bring me hand warmers.
I had one customer named Jack who came by everyday at lunch time to give me high fives. One lady asked me how could I be smiling as cold as it was. God protected me out there. But it was something I thought needed to be done to spread Street Sense to the people. I am here to make sure that it is available to my customers.
Street Sense has taught me that you have to meet customers’ demands. On the weekend, I would make sure that people on 13th Street and U Street got their copies. One customer took a picture to show people they should support Street Sense vendors for their hard work. Now that spring is hear, I am wondering how great I will be at this in the heat. I am a winter baby and don’t do that good in the summer months.
I am very grateful to my customers because they believe in me and are there for me. So I must be there for them.
Nobody needs a reason to help somebody.
Come by to say ”hello!” to me.
