Graeme

For some reason Graeme Phillips was using Michael Seaman’s business cards. Perhaps he was only part time at The Good Guys. Perhaps he was only working weekends. He wrote his name in capital letters in the white space at the top of the card, with its “Pay Less, Pay Cash” slogan and drawing of an ecstatic, vibrating cash register. Graeme also included his mobile number, although this overlapped with the Warrawong street address. Seems to contain a supernumerary digit, but this is actually the number he wrote – 0413 2220 789. The card is closely abutted by my car keys and wallet and rests on top of two recent train tickets that are no longer necessary. Graeme managed to sell me a 55 inch television set. I offered only the slightest resistance. I gave into his bad cop, but dead honest sales spiel. I stood where he told me and appreciated the television’s colour and resolution. I even accepted his business card, just in case I had any other audio-visual needs.
