We Open At 10:00am

The store opens at 10:00am!

I know you really need pants at 9:00am and you won’t be able to go on unless you make a $150 return at 9:30am, but we open at 10:00am.  Do you not have the internet?  Have you never been to this store before?  We open at 10:00am!  Every day!  Except for Sunday, when we open at 11:00am and I know that is very confusing so I understand why you come to the store at 8:00am.  Look up the opening times online!  Call the store!  Read the sign on the door that says we open at 10:00am!

Don’t rattle the door, that won’t make it open.  It will make me think you’re going to rob me and I will not really care what you want once you get in the store.  I will look at you suspiciously and wonder why you needed in here so badly.  There’s a Zeller’s across the street and they open at 9:00am and they also sell pants.  Of course they may not be the high quality you expect from my store, but if it’s as urgent as you think it is, then Zeller’s will be fine.

Don’t knock on the door, I’m not going to let you in.  You don’t work here and my store is not open.  When you get into the store I will think you’re crazy.  I will rush through everything just to get you out of my store because you are crazy.  There’s a Second Cup, Starbucks, and a Chapter’s with a Starbucks inside, go find one and get a coffee.  Maybe you can buy a book too!  Perhaps one about etiquette!  I open at 10:00am, not right now.  It’s a Loss Prevention issue if you come into the store before it opens.  I’m not going to get fired because you feel that you have a fashion emergency!  And plus, I’m not open!

You need to learn how to read a watch or a clock and the sign on the door.  When you knock on the door, what do you think will happen?  What happens when you rattle my door?  Why do you think you are above the rest of the world and you get to come into the store before it opens?  You think that whatever you need is the most important thing in the world, but its not.  You need to read the sign and you need to wait.  If you wait right outside of the door it will freak me out and we will have unpleasantness when you get into the store.  If you’re cool, I will be a delight and help you find the perfect pair of pants to go with that weird shirt you have but can’t really remember the color of and you really wish you had brought it with you.

So be a good customer and find out what time I open before you show up at the store.  And show up 10 minutes after I unlock the doors.
