A merchandising associate enters the store but is unable to find a pen in order to sign a book which is required. After a futile search, he looks back at the book where a red pen is lying on top.
The following account was forwarded to me by my friends Cam & Kyle at Expanded Perspectives:
"I've done merchandising for a living for the past eight years. This job requires me to go into retail stores early in the morning, sometimes I will start at midnight, and on this day I start at 3 a.m. Now, I enter a side door, that the night shift workers use. Most of the time I will see someone out there, on a smoke break. However, there wasn't anyone out there this time. I got a little nervous because, on occasion, a night manager would lock the door, for whatever reason. Thankfully, it was unlocked, and I proceeded into the store.
Looking around, there wasn't even anyone at the front of the store working, typically, they were all over the store, filling shelves. I went to the customer service desk, where a thick vendor signbook lay. I am required to sign in this book every morning before I start working, this way they know what merchandisers are in store. I could not for the life of me, locate an ink pen. I flipped through all the pages of the book, looked under the book, and even went as far as turning the book upside down, just in case a pen was stuck in the book somewhere.
Still not finding one, I walked around the counter, checking all the registers, and the lower shelving under the counter, still with no luck finding a pen. I resolved to go find someone with a pen because again, I could not start working until this book was signed.
I got about fifteen steps away from the counter when I got the sudden urgency to turn around and look at the book. I did, and sitting on top of the book was a bright red pen. I signed in like normal, audibly saying "Thank You", to whatever got the pen for me.
I spent the rest of the day wondering if the event had actually happened. This store is still a part of my route, I haven't experienced anything else out of the ordinary here." J
