I have to credit Thyda Nhek for introducing me to this phrase (who may have heard it from John Stepper), but ever since she mentioned it, it has stuck with me.

Business 2 Community - Tue, Jun 4, 2013 7:45 PM EDT
Several months ago, while shopping at my favorite clothing store, a sales associate approached me asking if she could help me find anything.
