Time Waits For Slow Man

Austin, Clothing Store, Jerk, Texas, Time, USA | Right | December 7, 2010

(A customer walks in right before closing. I ask him if there’s anything I can help him find. When he says there isn’t, I politely let him know the store will be closing at in about eight minutes. After spending twenty-five minutes in a dressing room, he puts his clothes on the counter and starts to look at the watches.)

Customer: “I left my glasses at home. What’s this watch say on the face?”

Me: “It says we closed twenty minutes ago and I’m ready to leave.”

Customer: “Oh.”
