Saw a guy putting a sign in his shop window, "Going out, Back in Ten Minutes". Walked passed fifteen minutes later the shop was still shut, sign still up and a queue of people waiting, walked up the street and he was sitting sun bathing. ... Genius or arsehole.? I'll let fab decide.  |

"He didn’t specify after which ten minutes, he is quite right to enjoy the sun
Think I’d be shutting the doors for the day too, ‘back when the sun goes down’ on the door  "
Or leaving the doors unlocked with an "honour box" on the counter. |

I know but still doesn't make it right. People just want everything to be available when they need/want it rather than having to wait. |

"Would people really queue up and wait?"
Suppose it’s a bit like you get there and he has already left so you think well he will probably only be 5 minutes now and then after waiting 5 minutes you think he will be here any minute and the next thing you know half an hours passed!! |

Coffee, ice cream and coffee go well... add a shot of whisky for perfection |

A shop I go to does similar often. Doesn't put any time as to when the sign went up, and it just says back in 30 minutes or whatever one he's picked at that time.
Nine times out of 10 when I contact him though (He's a friend) he's in a pub and not always one of the nearest one.

See on a sunny day I think there opportunities here to give some who can't spend time out in the sun
For example those perhaps with hair the colour of a Jamaican sunset (or the colour of a popular Scottish fizzy drink made with irn), they cant spend long in the sun so hire one or more of them to manage the shop the you can go out to enjoy lol
It's a trebble win,
you get to go out in sun
You don't lose any revenue
And you get to give a job to someone who would suffer outside lol

Ah, happy days. As a wee lassie I would often pop my head round the pub door and yell "Dad, you've got a queue!". He was always very generously grateful. |
