So I noticed this Wolfman doing a little window shopping out front the day before Valentine's Day. He was accompanied by a human, and he was pointing at something in our window display. They nodded at each other and turned toward the front door. I repeated to myself, "Please don't come in. Please don't come in." over and over because I was sure the only reason a wolfman would have to come in was to feast on my heart and make a new pair of shoes out of my kidneys. Alas, my mantra had no effect over this creature of the night and his hulking form soon darkened our doorway.
Wolfman wanted two porcelain rose tealight holders, just like the ones in the window. Yes, Wolfman would like those gift-wrapped. Separately. Wolfman had two birthday parties to attend that evening.
Wolfman left with a smile on his face. Which exposed the bloody flesh hanging from his razor sharp canines. But that's not the point.
The point is that Uncle Jer's customer service and free gift-wrapping are powerful forces, a weapon we wield to combat supernatural surliness and transform it into contentment.
Actually, our visitor was just Victor, the manager at the Vista movie theater across the street. The Vista's one of the best theaters in the city, an Egyptian-themed temple to filmgoing. They removed every other row of seats during a major renovation so that you don't get fanny-raged every time someone gets up for more Twizzlers. And whenever Victor has the chance, he dresses up as a character from the film they're showing. Be sure to see your next movie at the Vista and pay us a visit while you're in the neighborhood!
Wolfman came back today for two more candle holders because the first two were such big hits!
