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.

just put a no loitering sign up

We had this same issue with couches at the bookstore. 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.

He works at a record store so this is ignorant advice. Slap some harsh noise or powerviolence on the stereo and then crank that ****.

That would be John except he does sh*t like bring us coffee and buys us Christmas gifts for us like the sweet guy that he is but then goes and does stuff like play his own records on the stereo, moves furniture around to suit his needs, and endlessly bug our more introverted customers.

I'm pretty sure that I've met John at a record store in SD.
