83. Public Relations: Absolutely True Conversations

::Bookstore::

Phonecall: (with urgency in her voice) Okay this is very important do you have any books on unicorns?

Me: Yes we have a bunch. 

Phone: ok I'll be there soon.

We get phone calls like this all the time, they need a birthday gift, father’s day gift, book report due, summer reading list, my son never reads but likes this series, do you have it?

Woman mid 40’s - I need a book on unicorns –

Me: Ok follow me to the children section.

Women: No not a children’s book.

Me: Oh you must mean that new Young Adult book Zombies vs Unicorns

Women: NO (very frustrated) I need books on real unicorns.

I left her in the metaphysical section very upset that the only thing I could find was the Mythical Creatures Bible. It was as if last night a unicorn showed up at her door and it was crapping sherbert and throwing up glitter everywhere and she needed help.
