Factory Cheesecake and Christmas Melons Sam's Club has Demo Samples all the time but once a year is the Holiday Taste of Sam's Event with Lots and Lots of Samples which gives customers the opportunity to taste and possibly buy various products. It also gives the Employees (Associate is the politically correct term in today era) a chance to earn extra hours and during the holiday season that is a very good thing. I volunteered for Demo Duty and prayed that I would get something really good to hand out to customers. Yea Haw! There is a God! I looked at the instruction sheet - Cheesecake Factory.................... Customers would approach my table and smile. Everyone smiled when they saw Cheesecake. Many of the customers came back for a second sample and few even thirds. One elderly customer in a riding chart requested that I give him an really big sample. "Absolutely Sir" I told him as I cut an extra large slice and handed it to him with a wink. Happily we sold quite a few boxes of Factory Cheese Cake. I like challenging myself by giving away something that I REALLY like and NOT eating it. I am happy to report that I succeeded with this challenge. The following week, I was back in my regular job in Produce. The Regular Demo lady was giving out samples of PIEL DE SAPO MELON also called "Santa Claus Melon." Christmas Melon grow in Arizona and California during the Summer Season but during the Autumn and Winter they are imported from South America, Nevertheless, I told the Customers - "These Melons are from the North Pole and fertilized by the Reindeer!" One gentleman commented, "Yep these are Artic Melons." His pipped up, "the label says they are from Brazil!" "Actually, I explained to the , "the reindeer flew the North Pole to Brazil so that Santa could see the Melons named after him. Nevertheless, the PIEL DE SAPO MELONS did what the FACTORY CHEESECAKES did. It made people smile.  Abracadabra  |
