A busy mall in Southern California. A busy mall, with a See's Candy counter facing mall foot traffic. Busy busy because its Valentines Day weekend. Usually us ladies have our heads down packing candy as fast as customers can tell us...I happen to look up and meet the most sparkly eyes of a handsome cop walking his 'beat' (THIS mall had problems, so they hired off duty cops to patrol) I didn't actually swoon, but boy did my heart go 'pitter pat'.....and guess what, his days/nights to work were the same as mine. One of See's most important policies is to offer each customer who walks up a free sample. Guess who got LOTS of free samples?? The rest, 20 yrs later this September, is history.
Free samples of CANDY people!!!!
