Ever wondered what goes on when the proprietor of secondhand record shop at the butt end of the world chucks in the towel and goes back to having a life??
Very good ! Reminds of a shop in Amsterdam I once read about… The shopkeeper sent his customers away if he didn’t like their faces. Sometimes even giving them money if they wouldn’t leave. And if that didn’t work he would walk out the door himself…;o)
When this came through my email the other day, I felt a real kinship with these shopkeepers. I have been in retail WAYYYYY too long.
My ray gun is only imaginary but I have one.
The cat food and cereal references are classic Tony R.
Bored with a record shop. 
That’s right proper customer service that is.
…and there’s a strong likelihood that I’ve been working in retail for too long…

…. ! …. (I’d like to meet the guy, maybe pick up some pointers…but I guess he’d have to like my face…if he didn’t it could be a nice little earner)…
haha fab! A shop full of cat food, cereal and things! I would like a ray gun too for some of my customers!
…raygun is in the post…. : )

You really are brilliant. Truly.
…(head swelling)…thank you Pamo…(and judging by the list of comments that have just popped up in my in box I’d best go get a coffee!)…
