He knew his Stock

The person that cuts our grass ran over a water release plug and destroyed it. We went to Home Depot and bought a replacement for less than $10. We decided we need some kind of bright marker to be near to remind the lawnmower man to steer clear and also a flag for our mailbox that recently broke. We asked where would something like that be. We were directed to a middle age man with i-pad like gizmo in his hand. We talked to him mentioning a marker and a flag for our mailbox. He looked on his i-pad and told us what aisle flags are on. He was talking about U.S. Flags. He told us the only thing we needed to mark the place the water release plug was a gnome, which would be in outside department. We told him we were not communicating. We did not need a U.S. Flag, we needed a flag to go on the mailbox that we would raise when there was mail to be mailed. And just a bright marker or something bright to remind the grass cutter… I stopped – beside the man on a shelf was a bright orange plastic peg, exactly what we needed. I took it. The middle age executive looking man said, “I’m only a stock boy”.
