Another customer falls victim to "the Chair" this afternoon.

The atmosphere in our store is usually pretty relaxed but this guy takes things a little too far!! He's a regular and I have a rocking chair by the coin counter especially for him. I swear, he must have a micro-switch in his butt cause he's usually out in a minute or two once he sits down. I'll be talking with him and all of a sudden he's out like a light!!!
Last week he was in and fell asleep so we made a sign like today and placed a coffee cup with some change from the cash drawer next to the chair. When he woke up he took the change.

As I recall I too quickly fell asleep right after speaking to you on the phone...
So heck you might be in the wrong business as you could make a fortune selling DVD's reading stories for infants!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
The name is LEE!
had to stop him before he punched out. We still laugh at that story when it's told.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
Ah, now that's better.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
That is not a coin shop!! No wonder you always have a story to tell.

believe me, I make none of these stories up and never embellish, the things I post are just what happen in our store every day. and you are correct, it isn't JUST a Coin Shop, we have a nice Jewelry counter and a pretty big Pawn operation with about 10k sq. ft. of floor space. right now there are six cars and one Motorcycle out for sale including a very nice 1955 T-Bird and a '39 Plymouth HotRod that LucyBop would drool over. trust me when I say we hold our own when it comes to coins but they only account for about half of the interesting things that happen.
here's something else that took place after I posted the "Sleeper" this afternoon. a regular customer came in to look at some $5 Indians and he brought the Gems pictured below. he pans and digs in the Carolina's, Georgia and is part owner of a small claim in Montana. the tray he showed me was mind-blowing, totally unexpected and some of what he has found during his 30 years in this other Hobby. there is some Gold, Rubies, Sapphires, Topaz, Aquamarine and others I can't remember mainly from digging but also from panning. he said he knows an old Gentleman down in North Carolina that cuts/polishes the stones after advising him which are the best to use. he said he's been to Arkansas looking for diamonds but hasn't found anything yet.
just amazing, really.
