I am shocked at the number of people, who are surprised when it is their turn at the presto machine or the cashier are suddenly start looking for their stuff.<br /><br />It's kinda like telling people to get their feet off the seats....shouldn't be necessary, but for some reason it is.Skin Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-52519568901089869762015-04-21T11:59:23.735-04:002015-04-21T11:59:23.735-04:00Great article!
