Today, I decided that I might want to go and see Rhonda at Deseret Book and see if she is still serving the needs of the book buying public with her usual flair and tenacity. As I entered the store she was telling four patrons who were just standing and chatting to take it outside. She told them if they were not actively buying, they needed to go stand around at Seagull Book or better yet the Bus Station. There is more floor space there.I have included a few pictures of Rhonda at her finest. She is best at the register where she constantly causes all manner of folks to max out their credit cards, drain their purses and wallets, access their home-equity lines or sell their Grandmother's priceless ring to pay for a few more spiritual items to help ensure their entry in to the Celestial Kingdom. If you are a Bishop, beware. The folks that Rhonda rings up usually show up next Sunday after church seeking assistance for their water bill, heat bill, or a food order. It doesn't matter a persons current financial situation. She is equal-opportunity merciless.
The picture of the 4 people standing at the register is misleading. This is not idle chit-chat. They have dealt with Rhonda before and they are discussing whether they have enough money if they pool all their resources to make at least one purchase.(Platinum upgrade is required for an extra 25 bucks).
The picture or Rhonda making a rude gesture was made when a General Authority told her he did not want to purchase an upgrade because she has already sold his wife three of them in the last 6 months. At least she had the decency to wait until his he was walking away from her to flash her own personal Deseret Book gang sign at him.
There is a hand written note on the front door courtesy of Rhonda. It says "We are short of help today. Please no silly questions, no refund requests, and do not ask where the restrooms are. Have your money ready. We are going green. Bring your own shopping bag."
No wonder she is tired when she gets home.

I hope a few of her old bosses take a look at those "deseret book gang signs." They deserve them!
From my personal experience, don't even go to her register if you're not planning to upgrade to Platinum. It infuriates her. But make sure to give the cashiers HER phone number so that she gets all of your points, right mom?
Very nice and touching post father.
I guess nothing's changed since I worked with her!
mom's a pro!
i don't even know why she works there...she doesn't even like people!!!
every stinking time I go in that store I spend well above my means. I don't know how Rhonda works there w/out bringing everything home. Great picts!
I think you need to do a "readers request" post.
When I first saw that picture of Rhonda holding up her hand, It didn't look like all of her fingers were up. :) Now if I were the one taking the picture, you could bet she'd only be waving one. I'll give you 5 guess as to which one it would be.
Nice! I work with Rhonda, and you're right - she's fierce.
