What I Learned While Getting a Haircut

Last week I had enough and decided that I would wait no longer. The little hair that I have left had become unruly and I was not satisfied with my appearance. There are many things that we can't control about our appearance but good grooming is something that we can.
I made some inquires and was introduced to a barber that is seeing customers. I know, I broke the cardinal rule, but so be it. One of those that I contacted was my barber. No sir, he was sorry but not open. I totally understand and really like him but it did not serve my purposes. I now go to my new barber. Notice that I said "new barber? She made time to see me, practiced safety wearing a mask and gloves, and her place of business was immaculately clean. She is scheduling customers so they don't come to the shop at the same time and is doing a thorough cleaning between customers. In addition, her place of business is more convenient. Now I get that she is not complying with the current orders and I have mixed feelings but......
The moral of the story is that if you aren't taking care of your customers and continuing to pursue prospective customers, somebody else will. Find innovative ways to conduct your business or there won't be business when we "re-open."
