Dear people who frequent my mother's store:
Lady, your brats are starting to damage my calm. And given five more seconds of their shenanigans, I'd have gone Jayne on their asses.
Please do not pull this crap of coming in between 3 and 4 and staying forever when we've been open since 10, then acting surprised that we close at 4.
Please do not let me catch your child playing with expensive puppets, for I will make you buy what they tear up.
Please do not stand there on the cell phone while I'm trying to leave so I can see the cousin who's been absent for 5 years (it sucks being poor or afraid of travel).
Please understand that I will have my mother call again and ask for the hours if you keep ignoring everything in favor of "browsing".
Please buy more than $10 worth of nothing, all while praising our selection. (Yes, we have a better selection than our competitor. This will also put us out of business if you don't buy it, even though you expect us to have enormous overhead. We're not made of money.)
And I swear, if your brats stand there and 1) grab handfulls of pencils and fling them, 2) yank tags off items, 3) throw puppets on the floor, 4) go in the office that is NOT for customers, 5) scream as they try to walk out the door with our product, or 6) take items off shelves and throw them on the floor, then I will not be held accountable for my actions.
