How come those
customers (you know the ones) always pick the exact day I really, really want to leave on time to come in near
closing and be weird? How do they know I’ve
got tickets for a show and need to be on a train within 45 minutes of closing
time? How do they know!? It’s
spooky…..
This time it was a mother and daughter. They
came in fifteen minutes before the shop was due to shut, looked briefly and
disinterestedly at the stock (‘Yay!’ I thought. ‘They’re obviously not going to
stay long….’), and then the mother asked to sit down (12 minutes to closing and
counting).
