i like your shirt

Sep 22, 2019

The iPhone I wanted finally released. I ordered it on the Apple site and delivery was promised between October 1 and 8. Crazy considering Best Buy has them already — and so does Wal-mart. Nice way to treat your loyal customers, Apple. Bad on you.

Perry was off on Saturday, but because they had the color I wanted at his store in Madison, we piled in the car and drove there. But what made my day wasn’t the shiny new iPhone 11 Pro Max — it was watching the interaction he had with an associate.

A kid — about 16 or so — saw his boss, Perry, and strolled up obviously trying to get noticed.

Kid: Nice shirt.
Perry: Thank you.
Kid: You sure look bigger when you’re working.

The only thing different about Perry at work is he wears a button down shirt tucked in (white, blue or black) — and he had on a purple shirt that day.

But for a kid with a job… power is just bigger.

It made me laugh.

The camera on this new phone is amazing. So good, in fact, that I got a great photo of Perry not looking like the small dude he is… even without his work attire. 🙂

Perry is bigger.
