An Interesting Customer and Memorable Stories, Nebraska

Cozad, Nebraska

Story Narrative:

Talk about a memory you have of living in a small town.

"One day at work a woman came in to get some movies. I said, "Hi." And she replied with a hello. She was a very nice woman. It was the first time I have ever seen her come into the store. She picked out her movies and left the store. I told her goodbye and have a nice day.

On another day I had to work, the woman came back into the store to return her movies. This time she came in we had a real conversation. I told her about me, and then she told me about her childhood in California. She told me how her mother never told her about segregation because she didn't want her daughter to wonder if people didn't like her because of her skin color. She told me about how she had to sit in the top floor of the movie theater, but she didn't care because she would throw things at the people on the first floor. She has became one of my favorite customers I have ever gotten to know. If I didn't live in a small town, I don't think I would ever have gotten to talk to her, let alone remember her.

Small towns are great to live in because you get to know people on a way more personal level."
