Oooooh-dometer!

I answered the phone today and gave the lady on the other end directions to our store. "Once you turn onto US1, we will be a 1/2 mile on your right." She thanked me and we hung up.

About 20 minutes later, a lady drops-off a pre-paid package, and as she's about to walk out, turns around and asks "Were you the one who gave me directions earlier?" ...I was the only one in the store, so I must have. "Yes" I replied.

"Well, I'd like to make a suggestion. It's hard to pay attention to the odometer on US1, so maybe you could say you are behind Wendy's"

"Oh, O.K. Thank you" I reply...holding my toungue for what I'd acutally like to say:

"Really?! Yes, US1 is a busy road, but is it necessary to use your odometer for a 1/2 mile?? Once you turn on the road, start looking for it! There are signs!"
