Dog Works as Customer Greeter at Florida Convenience Store
By BL Ochman
Cody, the greeter
But a Clearwater, FL convenience store has a Chocolate Labrador Retriever named Cody who gives them a head up – literally – over the competition.
Instead of a store clerk greeting customers who pull up to the drive-thru window at the gas station. up pops Cody’s deep brown eyes, floppy ears, and enthusiastic greeting.
Go ahead! Be a grump! Betcha can’t!
Karim Mansour, who owns both the dog and the store, says Cody goes running to the window any time he hears the bell. What follows is generally uncontrollable laughter, much to Cody’s delight.
It started when Mansour brought Cody to work with him one morning, and, for a goof, put a BP shirt on him and a name tag. “While he’s here, he’s an employee. My rule is, ‘all employees need to wear the shirt’ ” Mansour deadpans.
“Convenience stores are so unpredictable. People come in drunk, stoned, angry, you name it,” Mansour told the Tampa Bay Times. “He calms them down. Animals have the ability to soothe the human soul”.
