The Robert blog

Yup, it's another post regarding my favourite customer. He's the only person amongst my entire customer base who's so happy to be in my Post Office that as soon as he comes through the door he'll shout:

"Hello everyone, hello whatevernamehe'sdecidedtousetodayforme."

Thanks for the enthusiastic greeting and that but it's really annoying. Especially is there are 10 people queued up already. Can't he act remotely like a normal person and wait until he gets to the front of the queue before he says hello? Guess not. It also presents a bit of a dilemma. Am I rude to Robert by ignoring him or am I rude to the customer in front of me by shouting hello to the sad idiot who's just walked in? I've racked my brains for ages and can't think of a way of being rude to both of them. As it is, I generally ignore Robert unless there's a more annoying customer in front of me.

Also, quick note to Robert in case he's reading this. Just because you're wearing an enormous hi-vis vest on your enormous fat belly does not make it safe for you to drive your invalid carriage on the road.

The wrong way on a one-way road.

At night.
