I knew this was a 'the/mclovin' thread before I clicked on it on the iPhone (you don't see thread-starter in the topic list -- just most recent responder).

I think you need to look inward. Perhaps you don't deserve to be a customer any more.

That's happened to me before too (go to a small shop only to find it closed at 3:30). I simply decided to find another shop.

There are two sides to every story. I work at a bank and we are trained to make every customer feel special. Well, this one guy . . .

Yeah, apparently Shaun is a customer at the same bank. We're all guessing that he should be made to feel special later tonight.

So what time was your appointment?

Sounds like the hours we keep at our shop. The boss does leave his home phone number on the answering machine for emergencies.

Dude! its the duds that give ya'll away... You need to drop the white shirt, tie and black pants and go for something less conspicuous like a warmup suit. Hell, the duds give you up a mile away and it gives everyone time to close the drapes and lock the doors. Sounds to me your lucky this guy wasn't a Jehovah's witness or things might of got very ugly...
