    From Not Always Right: Don’t Know Time By Half

    I work at a key-cutting place. A customer has dropped off an order, but we are backlogged.

    Me: “Okay, if you come back in about ninety minutes, we should have that ready for you.”

    Customer: “Ninety minutes?! What’s that, like an hour?”

    Me: “Uh… no, that’s an hour and a half.”

    Customer: “Hours come in halves?”

    Me: “I… I don’t know how to answer that.”

    NOT my story

    We had a customer at the dry cleaners I worked as a teen, pull up to the drive in window just as we had closed and locked it all down for the weekend but had yet to leave the building…yup, we all hid below counter height and waited until he finally drove off!
