“I always thought that a British accent was from a some kind of disease.”
Our local Walmart for over a decade had this great old Brit with a terrible Liverpool accent as one of their greeters and watchers.
After a few years, a customer told the store manager that he should fire the old Brit because of his accent.
The store manager told the customer that their Greeter was British, and she, the customer had the accent. He was a good and loyal worker, and as a manager he would not fire him.
The customer told her family members, and they told her the store manager was correct.
She and the old Brit became buddies after that without a lot personal dialog.
Nice story.
