The past few times I've taken my car in to get the oil changed I've noticed a pattern and I am wondering if it's the latest marketing tactic in the auto maintenance industry. Every place I've been to (like 3 different shops) have young, reasonably good-looking young men at the front desk who FLIRT with the women who come in. I've been called sweetheart and darling and told they "can't wait until I come in again." I'm a pretty old-fashioned girl, and I find it kind of ridiculous. (Afterall, what 20 year old is seriously going to flirt with someone with an entourage of four kids!) I insist that the kids in the neighborhood call me "Mrs. Jessi", and I appreciate it when people say "yes, mam." "Darling" and "sweetheart" don't quite command the same respect and deference. But, I imagine a lot of women like that kind of attention. Afterall, not everyone has a husband that makes them feel desirable, and if you can get that at the local Jiffy Lube they may have a lot of women coming back for more than just an oil change!

I love it Jessi... well said.
Well, you are one gorgeous mother. They may not be doing that to everyone!
Oh Jessi! You are pretty and still look 25- I guess they just assume you are their age and that you are just tending the children! ;) Come on- I Really think you are the only one! Seriously. Maybe next time you should take David in with you! hehe
I'm not the only one! The last time I got my tires rotated I watched several women walk in and get the same treatment.
Hmmmmm, I think you're just super cute and getting hit on....even with four kids in tow.
