#220 - OPEN / OPEN

Furiously turning the sign until the string tangled, Bernard yelled, �Who changed this?�

�Me.� Manny proudly tossed his head. �Customers expect us to be open all the time and what�s the first rule of retail?�

Bernard stared daggers at him. �To sell things.�

�The customer is always right.�

�The customer isn�t always right, the customer is always wrong.� Bernard opened the door and smiled at Fran in the street. �You can be in charge. I�m going to the pub.�

Manny�s face dropped and in a rush he rifled through the bins, under the cat litter, wanting the old sign back.
