It happens all the time...

You can see it in the customer’s eyes – wanting to be alone with the new acquisition. Just bought a guitar, or a mandolin, whatever. With case, spare set of strings, some picks. A strap maybe. And then it’s the yearning for alone time. To get home and spend time alone and get to know my instrument. Yearning to launch the adventure, questioning “did I do ok?” and “will I do ok?” Getting to know, getting familiar, working on looking good with, doing well with, getting on with…
And that knowing look in the sales person’s eyes at the final handshake - further banter and light conversation would be inappropriate now, your customer wants to go, to hurry away, doesn’t want to be impolite, but needs to go. I expect it’s much like the clerk must feel at the reservation desk of the honeymoon hotel.
