I have a funny that happened to me a year or so ago at our product table. We have a standing agreement in our group that if any one of us feels led to give away a product free of charge to someone that maybe can't afford it (if we truly feel they can't), or to someone going through cancer, etc....then we all have liberty to do that with no questions asked by the other group members. We were up in Tennessee in the town where I lived as a little girl. I knew lots of people that were there that day. One girl came to the table that I knew and I just felt led to give her a CD because I "KNEW" she couldn't afford to pay for it. To be as absolutely polite as I can here....she has a mental issue. I gave her the CD of her choice and told her that the only thing she owed me was to pray for us every time she played it. Well, she proceeded to say "Well, I want all of the CDs!" I explained that as much as I would like to give them all to her, that I just couldn't do that. So, she proceeds to open her purse and pull out a $50.00 bill and say, "Well, if you won't give them to me, I'll buy them with my own money!" If I could've pulled that tile floor up and hid under it, I probably would have! When we got back on the bus, we were talking about our sales total, etc...for the night and my cousin proceeded to say "Well, it would've been $15.00 higher if Missy wasn't giving product away!" (Of course, I've been ribbed about that one ever since!)....
