Now I'm sure all you guys have seen the ads or heard them on the radio, about the awesome new barber shops filled with cute girls, and the way they take care of their customers. Well Jason found out that sometimes home cooking beats a five star restaurant, and if you have the right home town barber, well that's what were here to talk about.
Jason had had a hard weekend, and when he went into work that morning it showed. He had fallen on the bed the night before and slept in his clothes. He woke up late, hung over, with a two day beard, smelling of booze. To say things had gotten out of hand was no exaggeration. He quickly brushed his teeth and tried to comb his hair. He just had to get a hair cut, he just never had time. He had duck tails, a cowlick, and hair piled up over his ears in a series of curls. He tried to straighten his wrinkled clothes, put on a tie and a coat, that thankfully he hadn't slept in, and hurried off to work, still destined to be nearly 20 minutes late.
Jason's drive was a long one. Unable to afford an apartment in town, which would have made more sense for a city boy like him, he had rented an old farm house 20 miles out of town in Dexter, a little crossroads town, population 30. The sign said "Welcome to Dexter" on both sides and was displayed proudly in the center of town, which consisted of the post office, the TB (Town Bar), an aging IGA (Zeke's place) and the barbershop complete with barber pole. It wasn't fancy but it was cheap living. Jason pulled into the parking garage as predicted, a good twenty minutes late and did his best to make a stealthy entrance, but as he passed his bosses open door he heard the dreaded words. "Jason! late again?" he knew he dared not ignore the big man, though he wanted to. Turning to face the boss, he looked down and muttered "sorry". "God! you look like something the cat dragged in! What do you mean showing up here like that and 20 minutes late besides?" Jason just hung his head. It was a bad day at the start and it just got worse. His boss continued "You just got yourself three days off without pay! now get out of here, and clean up your act! You can start with a haircut! Don't let the door hit you in the ass!" The boss was known for being a prick and he wasn't letting anyone down today.
Jason just turned, and headed back to the car. He knew his life was a wreck, but nothing like hearing it from the boss in front of everyone. At least he had enough time..... No money, but that was another problem. He got in the car and drove home. What an ass his boss was.
