Panda Tantrum

Happy April!

I was at my hairdresser recently. He told me an interesting story of when he first came to Canada 28 years ago (he's Armenian from Lebanon I believe). He spoke no English and got a job at a hair dressing salon owned by an Italian man. After only about 3 or 4 months working there, the owner decided to take a 3 or 4 month trip to Italy and left him in charge of running the salon. My hairdresser was surprised and his co-workers were upset because some of them had been there for years. The owner had his mind made up. Upon his return he was so happy with the job my hairdresser had done that he insisted on giving him a $200 tip. The whole conversation started because my hairdresser was telling me he can't go on vacation because he has no one to look after the business when he's gone. The last time he went away, he entrusted and paid 3 people and ended up losing 3 times what he should have made. It's not easy running a small business, even more difficult to find people you can trust.

Then 2 of his customers walked in. The man was 96 years old and his wife looked around the same age. My hairdresser says he still fights with his wife!

Here's a cute video called Panda Tantrum.
