I love Nure.
At least I think I do.
I mean, I'm not at all sure that's how Nure is spelled but I'm pretty sure it's close.

Either way he's a great guy.

When I got home from the road last year a simple handshake would not do.
So he came out from behind the bulletproof glass and gave me a hug.

That's not typical Chevron cashier behavior but it's certainly appreciated.

He's a good guy.

A couple weeks ago I casually mentioned that he might want to start carrying my favorite summertime beverage, Lemon Lime Jarritos.

Jarritos is a Mexican soda made with cane sugar.
And delicious.
You throw a couple Jarritos in a bucket of ice on a hot summer day and you've got yourself a party.

Nure immediately pulled out his supply catalog and ordered some Jarritos up for me.

A few days later I asked how the order was coming but Nure said that his supplier was unable to get  them.  He'd have to try another vendor.

A couple weeks went by and I was beginning to lose faith.
I should've know better than to doubt Nure.
I'm embarrassed by and I apologize for my behavior.

Sunday when I popped into the Chevron there at Virginia Ave and North Highland, Nure casually mentioned that I might want to check out cooler 15 to see if there was something I might want inside.

God bless this man.

I bought one for him and two for me, one of which I shared with Ellen at Rosebud.

The Jarritos website is really cute - go visit.
I love the squirrel with the camera.

"Say Queso.  Say it!"

*  Also, I may have convinced Ron, owner and head chef at Rosebud to start carrying Jarritos as well.
    Admittedly, not a hard sell but I still count it as a win.
