Wanna buy a watch?

Darlene's watch gave out and so it was time for a visit to the local Hudson's Bay Company, who have a very nice selection of watches by the way. On a side note, if HBC is experiencing any financial problems, I know of 2 reasons why. The first reason is that they don't have a lot of staff efficiently placed around the store. So while we had made our selection of which watches we wanted to look at - it took a good 10 minutes to get the attention of a staff member to help us out. In that time, I saw at least 3 sets of customers leave without buying anything. The second reason will become clear in a moment.

So this girl finally comes over to the display case where Darlene has picked some contenders for her new watch. After a few minutes of desperate searching, the sales-girl looks at us and asks, "Have either of you seen the keys to this display case?". Talk about leaving a door wide open (figuratively speaking).

"Seen them? Heck I've already waltzed down to the key shop and had copies made of them..."

I mean....come on!
