Has Some Real Drive For Comics
(I work in a comic shop. The shop is currently closed for a stock-take; however, we still have many people coming up to our front doors, knocking, and yelling. On this occasion, a woman who looks to be in her 50s slowly makes her way up to our glass doors, I see her gawp at the “closed for stock-take” signs on our door as I’m sorting through comics. She begins to yell through the door and knock very loudly.)
Woman: “WHEN ARE YOU GUYS OPEN AGAIN?!”
(My male coworker is talking to her through the door as I’m watching.)
Coworker: “Possibly tomorrow? Sorry, but we’re not entirely sure. It’s probably safe to come back in a few days. Sorry about that.”
Woman: “NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I DROVE 20 HOURS TO GET TO THE CITY TODAY!”
(The woman storms off.)
Me: *to confused coworker* “20 hours?”
(There were also three other comic shops on the same street…)
