Er--What's That?
My sister, SaraMy sister, Sara, who is now deceased, worked at the Sears store in Paris, Texas many years ago. She was head of the Linens and bedding department.
One day a lady came into the store and was looking around in Sara's department. It was near Christmas time. She came over to Sara and said, "Can you tell me where the tablecloths are?" Sara, casually replied, "Oh, he won't be here until 3:00 PM."
The lady looked at Sara strangely and paused for a few moments. One of Sara's coworkers was nearby and she asked Sara, "What did you think she said?" Sara said, "Oh, she asked when Santa Claus would be here." The coworker replied, "No, she asked where the table cloths are!"
Sara jumped to attention and ran after the lady to answer her question. Sara was very embarrassed for her blunder and tried to pay more attention to customer's questions after that! Wonder what Santa thought about all of this?"

I called the store one day to talk to her when she was over the lingerie department. She was in the middle of counting inventory, and she answered the phone, "Lingerie. Seven Seiferman." She said she sure was glad it was me and not a customer calling!
