message to waiting patron



The thing I think everyone missed is that you post the
time you locked the door on your written message.
 
So even if their watch is five minutes off, they have a
firm idea of when you left and a pretty good idea of
when you will be back.
 
If you are constantly in and out of your area, a clock
works, provided your patrons know that you are reliable
and will return at the time your clock says.  If you cannot
do that, then the written note is preferable.
 
And remember, you can please most of the people most
of the time, not always.
