One Foot Off and One Foot on Dawn went out to serve a lady who was in an electric wheelchair, on asking if he could help her she took off her leg and gave it Dawn and said a pair of shoes to fit this please, the customer had two artificial legs, needless to say Dawn went a bit green, and her face was a picture.
