A TALE OF DISCRIMINATION...

There once was a mother who wanted for her baby a beautiful laugh and learn home (in French of course). While surfing one night to her delight a deal at Sears she did find. "Hooray, Hooray" she exclaimed. Up the stairs she went, as quick as could be to call for a Sears delivery. To her dismay the man on the phone would say "I'm sorry the french one on sale...no way". "Why, Why?" cried the mother, "'tis toy discrimination, I say". Back down the stairs she went, her energy almost spent...to write a letter of complaint. A look in her in box the very next morning, revealed a reply, she thought she would faint. However, again to her dismay the email thanked her for her comments and that someone would get in touch ASAP. Patiently the mother waited as the days went by. Monday...Tuesday...Wednesday...Thursday...still no reply. Now annoyed the mother did call and to Sears she did cry:

"Toy discrimination, toy discrimination!"

The lady on the phone, cried "toy discrimination, not here at Sears? What an abomination!" What a dear soul, did what the man could not do, and gave a deal on the toy (in french) to the now exasperated mother. "Thank you and thank you" said the mother "My child will have a Christmas gift because of you".

That's the end of my tale. And true once again, is that the customer is always right.
