Apparently, I (Pegasus) did make the news. A short clip where I say the tariffs haven't had much of an effect on us, that I could see. I did get to say my favorite phrase. "I've owned the store for 42 years and we've been here for 45 years." I sounded calm and reasonable, which was what I was striving for.

 

I've been saying for awhile that a good portion of our customers are passersby. Yet...when I open early or stay late, there is a constant stream of people walking by. I hit the officially open hours and people start coming in.

Could I have been wrong about this? (Interesting concept...nah.)

"This store was made for me," a customer says as he saunters out of the store empty handed except for the coffee he came in with.

 

 

Guy says, "The word Nazi is used too much."

I turn and mutter, "A Nazi is as a Nazi does..."

I think he might have heard me. 

 

Seven hours. I'm just not used to that. Usually Sunday in the winter is 4 hours, I lengthened that to 5 hours officially in the summer, and I've added two more hours while business is booming. But it seems like a big difference. Add in the hour an a half before opening and the hour of commute.
