A Life Lesson

Support Small Businesses As comforting as it is to be able to walk into your local Tedeschi, 7 Eleven, or Cumberland Farms and buy a bar of chocolate or a carton of eggs, drive a little further down the road. Once you've encountered the pain-chipping, farm-like, dead-beat sad excuse for a convienece store, you have reached your destination. March proudly past the flickering OPEN sign, through the door that jingles when you open it, take a little longer finding what you're looking for in the dim lit isle and check-out by the nice Indian man with the thick accent. Take a deep breath and smile as the jingling door closes behind you. Why? Because what you don't know is the Indian man has a family at home, mouthes to feed, and bills to pay struggling to survive in our thriving country. Your business to him is a gift. So oh well, you spent 23 cents more than you normally would on a bottle of canola oil. It is well worth is.
