Tuesday nights/Wednesday mornings are always busy. The grocery shipment comes in meaning it's pedal to the metal all night long. My mind is often focused on the fifty different things I need to do, but that didn't stop me from taking not of one unique customer.
Most of my stories involve unusual customers, the stupid things they do, and other things of similar variety. Tonight's customer features something I thought was really cool. At the same time it's something I could never do myself. I should have asked this customer if I could take a picture of him. I tried to find an image that would give an example of what I saw, but I couldn't find one.
So what is this mysterious sight I beheld last night? A customer walked in with one of the largest "ear holes" I have ever seen. What do I mean by this? He had gauged his ears. I think that's the technical term for it. You start small when you do this, but you can gauge them larger and larger as you go on. It basically removes the cartilage so there's no major damage that I know of. I have one regular customer who has done this, but this guy's were extreme.
The best description I can give is simply to say the bottom of his ear was about the size of a pencil line. He had these things gauged as far as he could. Any further and he wouldn't have anything below the gauge, which would ruin the purpose.
I sincerely wished I has asked to take a picture so I could show it. Maybe next time.
Next shift is Wednesday night (tonight).
