C. DeAndre’ Smith shares untold tales of his first-hand account experience as a retail establishment manager

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Author C. DeAndre’ Smith offers a straight-to-the-point and no-fuzz account of his book, “The Customers Always Write”. It is a first-hand account of his experience as an adult retail establishment manager, the stories he documented, the goings-on at Video Expo, and the quirky and wonderful people who went there. With fourteen years on his credit as manager, DeAndre revolves around all the fun and excitement that goes on in the adult store and the wild romances that bloomed there, his nice heart-warming charm, and that welcoming feel where everyone will just be themselves.

For DeAndre, his book portrays what an inclusive environment is. One where differences are valued and can bring their full authentic selves to a place. As a result, people will feel respected, and everyone—no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, social class, age, personality type, or religion—will be able to freely express who they are, their points of view, and have equal access to opportunities.

DeAndre’s book is often pegged as a refuge, sanctuary, and haven; it’s like the hugely popular sitcom “Cheers” which aired in the 90’s, where regular patrons are largely a bunch of different people, who bond because of their shared place in life, and because “Video Expo” is their home. “The Customers Always Write”, introduces the establishment and the people in it through DeAndre’s eyes. He is the reader’s guide. It is filled with equal parts of humor, sarcasm, and the harsh light of reality. The stories in his book serve as the breeding ground for more books to come and episodes to come. As far as this book goes, it is one of the absolute best.
