Barber shop

Most barber shops that I have visited hold a signs like ‘No Politics’ (meaning, don't talk politics) or ‘No Credits.’ Yesterday, I saw the following notice at a barber shop.

If you are grouchy, irritable or mean, you will be charged $10.00.

I wonder who dares to be grumpy when a man is holding a weapon against ones head. Come on, I mean seriously, when a person is holding a sharp instrument like a knife, blade, scissors, or electric razor (in my case), who dares to be irritable. Personally, I wouldn’t even move my head during the course of a hair-cut unless the barber himself moves my head. I would rather indulge myself in a fulsome flatter rather than trying to me mean.

Apart from getting the perfunctory hair trim/cut, the barber shop offers local news as a perquisite. I go to Edward’s Barber Shop. Edward is a jovial person and has another barber to help him handle more customers. A good conversation is always free at Edward’s (This used to the sign until recently). For those customers who are bashful, the shop has a good collection of daily newspapers and latest magazines. If you are bored, you can talk to the other customers or Edward himself.
