It's time for one of Merle Wayne Sneed's sweeping, uninformed generalizations. Who needs information when he is gifted with great intuition? Some people (but maybe not all), who claim to suffer from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) are coo-coo for Coco Puffs and not sensitive at all. There I said it. We have a customer at the store who claims to suffer from MCS. I think she suffers from Obnoxious Personality Disorder (OPD). In her case the MCS is kind of selective. Sometimes she will call the store from her car in the parking lot and ask that a list of items be brought out to her. We take her credit card in and bring her purchases out. Other times she comes to the door and we conduct business at the threshold. She claims that the vast array of chemicals in the store will do her in. One can only hope. Yesterday to my surprise, she barged right into the store and demanded that I get her a light bulb, asap. The problem was that she didn't really know what she wanted. She asked for a specific bulb, but it was not suitable for the lamp she was trying to get it for. I was having a hard time explaining this to her and she finally snapped and yelled at me. Her words were more or less, "I can't be in here because of all the chemicals. Do you have what I need or not?" I was pleased to tell her that we didn't have anything she needed. So, she left. I asked the boss if we can ban her from the store, but the almighty dollar trumps civility again. What do you suppose is up with the nutjob in California who had the eight babies? She has 14 kids and no job, lives with parents and is unmarried. Single mother of 14. Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true.
