In Retail (xxii)

Jeremy Dixon

This is a customer announcement:
would a member of Beauty go to hell.

This is a customer announcement:
put that back exactly where you found it.

This is a customer announcement:
I'm breaking it down, I'm not the same.

This is a customer announcement:
we cannot afford security.

This is a customer announcement:
don't you have something better to do?

This is a customer announcement:
it's illegal to photograph labels.

This is a customer announcement:
is anyone here in charge?

This is a customer announcement:
he's with somebody else right now.

This is a customer announcement:
who just pushed the panic alarm?
