The Bible Thumper

The wine store always has an interesting cast of characters who come in regularly.  There is one woman, I call The Bible Thumper who comes in at least once a week.  The first time I met her she wanted a bottle of Cannanou because Dr. Oz told his viewers that it's good for your heart.  Cannonau is a red grape from Sardinia and when Dr. Oz told people to drink it, the two wines we carried, flew off the shelves.  The one pictured above is what she wanted.

I think she said the phrase "The Lord, Jesus Christ" at least 5 times.  She told me how she never drank because she was a good Christian woman, but because Dr. Oz said it was good for her heart, than she allowed herself a glass every night, Praise the Lord.  But, her issue was that she wanted a larger bottle of this brand.  I explained that is wasn't available.  She wanted to know who she could talk to.  I told her, I physically couldn't get this brand in a larger bottle.  She wanted a phone number of who she could convince to get this for her, because she needed value.  I told her that it doesn't exist.  The winery doesn't make it.  It's not a real thing!

Well, Thanks Be to God, she left with one bottle.  But, every time she comes in, she asks someone else to get her this brand in a larger bottle, and we all tell her the same thing.  We can't get it.

She called once in the middle of a really busy evening once and asked for one of my colleagues and offered to drive him to church one day. 

She still comes in once a week.  But, we all run and hide because every person she runs into has to get a lesson in God the Almighty and why we should Praise Him.
