Turns out, she had special-ordered a huge shipment of American singles and it had just arrived. So I went to the back room and brought out as many cases as I could carry. And the people snatched up that cheese faster than I could put the price labels on them. I tell you, there was nothing greater than to see the happy expressions on all those customers' faces. I felt just like Santa Claus that day!"
