Can’t Quite Nail The Timing
(I’m waiting for my turn at the nail spa when a group of women comes in and approaches the front desk. Only one woman in the group speaks to the nail tech, but the whole group is crowding the desk.)
Woman: “Hi! We all want gel fills.”
Nail Tech: “Okay, there’s one person in front of you. Please put your name down and come back in 35 minutes.”
Woman: “So, come back at 10:30?”
Nail Tech: “It’s 10:10 right now.”
Woman: “So, come back at 10:30?”
Nail Tech: “I said to come back in 35 minutes…”
Woman: “Just give me a time, g**d*** it!”
Nail Tech: *clearly fed up* “Please come back at 11.”
Woman: “Well, thank you. That wasn’t so hard after all, was it?”
(The woman flounced out with her group in tow. She still hadn’t arrived for her appointment when I left at 11:20.)
