Me Tuning For Persuasive Connection

Our wait is longer than normal.

We’re waiting for the waitress to come, taking our drink and meal order.

It’s 2 days after new years and the little restaurant is 90% full at noon hour.

You could say without any stretch of the imagination it was a given the restaurant owner would be short-staffed.

What a great day for a… “Well worth your wait – short staff meal saving special “

Instead impatient hungry customers filling the restaurant room who’d be paying full meal price and leaving streaming.  As one frazzled waitress swirls around the room bringing water, pop, tea and food.

Saying “Be right with you guys.” And again on her fifth and ninth pass by our table.

Now it’s our turn.

As the waitress greats us …

”It’s Me, Myself and I”

It’s the next day and 2 relatives are passing through, so we’re up at the airport at noon to seeing them for  a bit. It’s a small airport with a small snack counter.

The man behind the counter is having a fluid discussion with a waiting passenger who is just killing time until his flight departs.

We’re waiting.  We’re still waiting by the cash register.

The man is only 5 feet away….  totally  wrapping himself in his future buying n selling talk.

We’re invisible

Sitting watching people come checking in their luggage at the airline check-in.  Our local politician  is spotted taking their boarding pass and walking over to us then Giving joyous Happy New Year wishes.

As we do in return.

Then we’re quickly told how ….”excited it is getting back to the job”.

How  “loves doing the job”.

How “everyone complaining but they’re going to complain anyway”.

How …

Mmmm…. What’s going on with all 3 encounters?

And  one more pointer I’ve got to add.

None of the people grew up here.  The man behind the counter arrived a couple of years ago as did the waitress. Both from different races and backgrounds.  Traveling thousands of miles getting here.

What’s going on here?  Well they are all acting human. All 3 dialed into wonderful Me FM .

It’s the same ME.FM  station all the people you know and meet are tuned into.

Everyone is interested in themselves – ME.

If you want to reach them with your persuasiveness – get tuning into their radio Me station then interrupt it.  Snapping them out of their hypnosis.
