I make small presses that hobbiests use and every now and then one comes to my shop to buy one. I might get a few people a year walking in but 99 percent are online out of state sales. Today a lady comes in with her two teenage boys. I am running a lathe and they come over to see what I am doing. The lady says loudly to her sons "See this is why you are going to college, so you dont have to do menial labor like this." She then says to me tell my boys to go to college so they dont end up like you working with their hands and backs instead of their minds." I smiled and said I payed more in income tax than you earned last year I gaurantee it and you need to leave, I calmly walked her to the door and thanked her for coming in but we dont sell our tools to just anyone off the street. I locked the door behind me and went back to work.
