Should Have Framed It Differently
(I am a picture framer. Generally my waiting list is around 4 – 6 weeks. It is the week before Christmas. A customer comes into the shop and I greet them; they start discussing the job and I make sure to mention I will not be able to complete any orders in time for Christmas; just to check before we go through all the detail.)
Customer: “No, that’s fine; I don’t need it for Christmas.”
(We carry on and it’s a fairly big job with lots of lots of different mouldings to be ordered. I tally it all up.)
Me: “It could be done for the end of January.”
Customer: “Oh, but I need it for Boxing Day.”
(Boxing Day is Dec 26th and a bank holiday in the UK…)
