The Store Closes At Ten And Goes Up To Eleven
The store has been closed for fifteen minutes. Some customers are still shopping despite some very obvious hints that we’ve been closed for a while. One of the cleaners, whose shift is about to start, has a suggestion:
Cleaner: “Can I connect my phone music to the store speakers?”
Manager: “Sure!”
Suddenly, death metal music is pumping at full volume over the store speakers. The customers are bothered by this and finally leave, apart from one who storms over to the manager:
Customer: *Shouting over the music.* “Turn off this devil music!”
Manager: “Sorry, sir, this is the music the cleaners like to listen to when the store closes and the customers have left.”
Customer: “But I’m still here!”
Manager: “Then I hope you like the gothic trappings of Paradise Lost!”
The customer told us we’re all going to Hell and stormed out. We now always have some music on standby for when this happens.
