Locals' Love #1

I am glad Joel convinced me to paint another sign but with our phone number on it. Not only do we have many people walking up to see the shop but several have called for tours or to buy cheese as well. What we are finding is that even thought the price scares people initially, once they are inside and hear the story they start to warm up to the idea. But once that cheese hits their tongue and they can taste what we are talking about they are hooked. Most reactions are very similar but I had a cute old couple come in and this is their story:

Sold more What's Her Name to the locals this week. It's fun getting phone calls and folks wanting to come in a see what the shop looks like, how we make cheese and sample it. Once the price comes up tho.... $32/lb. ($20 for locals) they politely start for the door. "That's an expensive toast and melted cheese mother." to which I stated, "Yeah, it's more for savoring and nibbling on." Wait for it... "Man, you could really get used to that." I reply "yes you can, that is our goal, to get everyone addicted to it." They laughed as we continued out to their car and when he turns to his wife, "Maybe we need half a pound." Fun times, cute old couple. Best part- I love that he calls her mother and she calls him daddy. reminds me of my grand parents.
