• Pushing the limits of the store that hosts us •
[1 MIN READ]
The Growlers come in every Wednesday evening, fill in every corner of Jenkintown Running Company, harass the customers, drink beer, and burp. How anti-social can a running group get? Very.
Last week we horned in on the business side of the operations and told Robert how to do his job. I mean, we piled up and breathed down his neck, took notes, grinned inanely, and warmed up the immediate 6 feet around the cash register with the hot air of both our presence and our unsolicited advice.
Robert: Do you mind? I’m trying to work, here.
For his part, Robert grinned tolerantly and posed with us. After all, like the other store associates, including Keith and Mike, he kind of has to. Not only are we part of the store’s expressive niche as runners, but we are also customers. And while some unwelcome customers really should be shown the door, others aren’t quite at that level. So we stay and keep running.
And burping. That we’ve been warned about.
