Likely both readers are aware that I have the old town garage in which to store tractors etc. The service door has been deteriorating both aesthetically and mechanically. So, today, a new door was installed. Sinai is so placid that this passes for excitement. The door looks great, operates better than the old one and is generally a nice improvement. The only downside is it makes the rest of the 118 year old building look kind of shabby. (See pictures below.)
Every Wednesday I share a noon meal, dinner to them lunch to me, with the bankers and butchers. The bank is locally owned, the owner lives in Arlington, where the main bank is located. There is another branch in Castlewood, so, three locations. Quite often the owner joins us for dinner so we've become acquainted. He's interested in Sinai history and guess who is the oldest person to act as historian?
So, one day I pitched this bank promotion idea to him. Have the bank keep a supply of $2.00 bills. When a customer gets cash the teller asks "Would you like some $2.bills?" Perhaps, over time the bank will be known as the source of $2.00 bills and may increase business. There's no cost to the bank. An un-named family member thought that it was very corny idea.
Today I was in the bank and the teller asked "Do you want a 2.00 bill?" 😁 Yup, the owner decided to give it a try. So, now I hope it catches on.
Takk for alt,
