foo: Oh hey, you're open. I need a chain.
me: Ok, is it a fixed gear bike?
foo: Of course. If I bring it in can you throw a new chain on?
me: Yeah, If I'm not already in the middle of something major when you come in, I can do it while you wait.
foo: Well what if you are in the middle of something?
me: I'll make you walk down the hill and buy me two slices of pizza from Luigi's.
foo: What?
me: Or a California burrito from Ray's.
foo: Huh? Wait...huh?
me: Are you over 21?
foo: No
me: Well, you can try to shoplift two 32oz bottles of High Life from Idaho Market but don't mention us if you get caught.
foo: Uh, alright?
me: What time are you coming in?
foo: Around noon, is that good?
me: We don't really take appointments but if you need a tooth pulled or something, there's a dentist around the corner.
foo: Man, I uh...haha...I mean...
me: See you later?
foo: Yeah, around noon. Thanks.
me: Yarrrrrrr!
I love my job.
