General Discussion & Chat: At a tailor's shop, 1 by Dinu

Watch-repairers, dressmakers (tailors), radio/TV servicemen..... have that uncanny habit of making you visit the shop often. They do not deliver the material on agreed schedule! It's quite common here. We have all of them here. Things are not thrown away, but repaired and reused as it is way cheaper than a new one. Tailors... they seldom deliver on time. Here is a picture in the shop where I took a picure of the tailor (not seen in the pic in fact) looking for my wife's stitched blouse in the shelf where he piles in his own order. The other two tailors are stitching away some other garments. They also stitch men's clothes. But this fellow is famous among the Ladies!! Does a nice neat job in stitching blouses, Salwars,etc. and is reputed for it. But the old habit of not delivering on time continues... if the customer scolds, he hangs his head down. The customer has to visit again! The piece of cloth is never taken up for cutting!
