Where do you fall in the story: dedicated and longstanding volunteer or customer [who] travels far distance to visit and always leave feeling content?

Funny you should ask,
visited today, 20 minutes before closing, I had driven 250 Km to visit (in a list of visits) , No one there!
I was brusque to the receptionist at Red Cross, but her response caught me off guard, she apologised profusely, and
asked if she could get someone to call me.
I realised I had been a right numbskull, and did the apologising myself.
All the red Cross Stamp shop is run by volounteers, I acted like an idiot. No presence of mind.
I had had a bad day, not that is any defence.
Next time, I'll get there at a reasonable time.
Bravo! to the volunteers.

Very few brick and mortar stores anywhere in the states.I have a local coin dealer who has some mounts but thats about it and he's thirty miles down the road.Was dealing with nice man through mail but disappointed by his demeanor.I always enclosed short note,a scan of one of my album pages,and some things I had laying around ( not junk).When return mail came it only had another order form.His lose.
