Talk about a hard sell

Today, saturday, is our busiest day and usually a bit chaotic but today takes the cake. Around 2pm it slowed down for a few minutes and an older couple came in. He was maybe 63 she was a bit younger. They asked all of the standard new rider questions and were clearly just
out looking at toys. After a bit I left them be to browse in peace and went back to the counter to look up some parts for the shop. While doing this I hear coughing...then choking....then a wet glak, glak sound followed by someone pounding on their chest. I turn around and the old guy is turning blue and giving the international symbol for "I CAN'T BREATH!!!" I walked up behind him and gave him the heimlich..once. Out flew this quarter sized mint. I then turned him around and checked to make sure he could speak. He immediately started turning pink again and said, with some difficulty, that he was fine. He wouldn't sit down so I had him lean on the counter for a bit. He then says, just as casually as can be, "That's the second time this week." What! Yes chimps and dames this was his second choking incident in one week...

He still didn't buy anything and I couldn't get the partners to let me take the afternoon off.

later,
Sam
