Wife and I went out for a sub this evening, and stopped by to price a set of tires at shop that's been in business for 6 months.
I 'just happened' that the clerk and my wife used to work at the same place (agency for the aged - i.e.: meals-on-wheels and more) and were the best of friends. It was old-home-week all over!
Negotiated for the tires. Asked about WW. The guy and I went to the back and he gave me an almost full (full enough so that the handle pulled out of the bucket). Established a relationship. He warned me of the weight and I mentioned I'd had the hernia operation on the other side - he had some SERIOUS questions as he'd just developed one & needed some basic info.
This was not only an immediate but a long term source!
