Re: Railfan shop; greetings from Albert

[James Brook <ajmbrook@ozemail.com.au>]

I don't mind a friendly greeting from the owner or the manager of a shop
but Albert is extremely annoying. He shouts at you from the other side
of the shop and expects an immediate reply. Like any normal person I
don't shout at the top of my voice to someone on the other side of a
shop! I only go into the railfan shop as a last resort now. Everyone I
know stays away from the Railfan shop as much as possible.
Congratulations on driving away most of the Railfan shop's customers
Albert! The shop has only gone downhill since you arrived!
