When I walk into a business and see that they are about to close, my heart starts to race - "Can I get in and out before closing time? Am I going to be in the employees' way as they are shutting down and closing up?" If I think I can get in and out without any trouble, I make a dash for it and make a dozen apologies along the way. The way I see it, these people have lives, some have families. They have been here all day and put in their hours - who am I to ask them to sacrifice for me? I should have gotten my act together and gotten there sooner. More often than not, I just turn around, head back to the car and make plans to come back the next business day.
I don't think most people feel this way - and my business is no different.
Years ago I had an assistant who was in his early 20's. He had a sharp wit and was quick on his feet. Most days we had fun working together. One evening a client had him on the phone asking him to stay late for some loan documents that we all knew would never come. Finally my assistant declared in an exasperated tone, "I have to go pick up my kids!" The client immediately relented and I almost fell out of my chair in laughter. Not only did he not have kids, but he was chronically single.
Well now he can back it up. I give you, The Office Kid.
