All across America, and the world, there are people standing behind counters for up to 60 hours a week, patiently waiting for customers.
This is a kind of endurance and patience that I do not have. I simply have an appreciation for the generous offering of our retail brethren.
The photo is a flower shop on a street corner in San Francisco that has a satellite TV dish on the roof. I love it because it gives the retail flower shop operator something to do during the endless hours of waiting and serving. It is especially valuable during world soccer periods.
