sending a text or an email to the shop and making them spell it out for you!

That’s because the shops know that no-one reads the website and doesn’t bother to update the opening hours when they change.

When I worked retail, people would always call asking about hours, especially around holidays. I started answering the phone "[Name of Store], we're open until 9."

The amount of people that didn't process this because they were too focused on what they were about to ask was amazing. The best were the people that realized right after they asked , and you could hear the hamster fall of the wheel.

Not only do people not read, they don't listen either.
