“I’ll tell you a story: Before you were born, Levesque came into power and we had to learn French. I helped my husband out in the store, but I always stayed at the cash. We had five salesmen – all French. One day a woman comes in and she wants buttons. I say; ‘certainement, one of the salesmen will serve you.’
Two weeks later my husband gets a letter, saying ‘you have a vendeuse who can’t serve in French’. My husband calls the lawyer who says ‘the only way your wife can work in the store is if she owns 40% of the business.’
That day I got 40% of the business without even asking! I wrote the lady to say thank you.”
