Last Sunday a customer approached my workmate Kirsty and asked,
uh…why are your newspapers so messy??
Old man, wherever you are, it’s because of this…
Apparently he skipped the article about cleaning up after yourself
That, my friends, is both parts of The West Australian, one with its cover pulled off and all the various newspaper magazines removed. The Weekend Australian, divided into its eight million sections and haphazardly slapped in a pile, plus two gossip magazines. Lovely! My favourite part about this incident though is that this table is directly in front of the magazine and newspaper rack, a mere one metre distance between them!
You could be excused for thinking this is just a once off. That this doesn’t happen all the time, but you would be wrong because things like this are an everyday occurrence at the cafe, on Sunday we get about eight copies of The Sunday Times and if we have one copy still in one piece at the end of the day with all its sections intact, we consider it a ‘good day’. It rarely happens!
And that is why our newspapers are always so messy.
Love Carrie xoxo xxxx
