"Right this way..." (shows them the door)


Gentleman walks in the door, past the shelves of books.
He walks up to the counter, passing tables of books and also more shelves of books.  Undoubtedly, he takes a deep breath of the air all our customers assure is is heavily perfumed with old book-y smell (some of them even complain about it).

"I'm looking for your apricot tea," he asks, undeterred by the utter and complete absence of any tea or tea-related paraphernalia in sight.



On the phone just now:

"I'd like a book for pickup today."
This isn't a pizza parlour, love.
