Saw a guy putting a sign in his shop window, "Going out, Back in Ten Minutes". Walked passed fifteen minutes later the shop was still shut, sign still up and a queue of people waiting, walked up the street and he was sitting sun bathing. ... Genius or arsehole.? I'll let fab decide.

He didn’t specify after which ten minutes, he is quite right to enjoy the sun

Think I’d be shutting the doors for the day too, ‘back when the sun goes down’ on the door

Its obviously his business to open and close as he pleases, thats the beauty of not working for someone, you can do what you want. He may lose a customer or too but still his choice.

I know but still doesn't make it right. People just want everything to be available when they need/want it rather than having to wait.

Suppose it’s a bit like you get there and he has already left so you think well he will probably only be 5 minutes now and then after waiting 5 minutes you think he will be here any minute and the next thing you know half an hours passed!!

A shop I go to does similar often. Doesn't put any time as to when the sign went up, and it just says back in 30 minutes or whatever one he's picked at that time.

Nine times out of 10 when I contact him though (He's a friend) he's in a pub and not always one of the nearest one.

See on a sunny day I think there opportunities here to give some who can't spend time out in the sun

For example those perhaps with hair the colour of a Jamaican sunset (or the colour of a popular Scottish fizzy drink made with irn), they cant spend long in the sun so hire one or more of them to manage the shop the you can go out to enjoy lol

It's a trebble win,

you get to go out in sun

You don't lose any revenue

And you get to give a job to someone who would suffer outside lol

Ah, happy days. As a wee lassie I would often pop my head round the pub door and yell "Dad, you've got a queue!". He was always very generously grateful.
