A lady brings in this mess of chains but doesn’t have much time to wait. “Don’t we just put it in a machine or something that will untangle the chains?” Umm, no. Philip Mastbergen, Mastbergen Jewelry, Sheldon, IA
We had a lady walk in the store. I’m going to say that again, she opened the door after reading the “OPEN” sign and reading the hours, and she walked in the store. She asked: “Are you open?” And wait, it gets better: “Because your hours say you’re open Tuesday through Saturday?” Us: “Yes, ma’am, it’s Wednesday.” (and you’re standing in the middle of the store!).
