Well, as of late, the crazy batsh*t insane people who are also very sweet human beings have been overstaying their welcome in the shop. We have couches. Might not have couches for much longer since we've been having some guys stay for hours and talk to us, while we're working, the entire day. It's honestly exhausting. Try having somebody sit on your desk and bug the sh*t out of you every day in the office.

It's getting to me. I need a vacation.

Sometimes you just have be blunt like "listen I'm glad you like our store so much but you can't be hanging out all day unless you're buying merchandise." They'll either get it or they won't and if they don't it's a lot easier to get rid of an erratic ******* than someone who's just lonely.
