The rogue mechanic and Mr. Bradford

Ring ring ring

"Answer the phone, please, my hands are full of grease."

"Give me the three-quarter key and some degreasing oil." The apprentice looked for the keys on the tool table but didn't see them.

-It is not here.

The experienced mechanic turned to look at him saying:

-Not there! Look inside the blue metal box.

"Peter, was Mr. Bradford, he's on his way to drop off his car with us."

"Of course, it had taken him a long time since the last time we programmed him the fault."

"You know Peter, I feel sorry for Mr. Bradford."

"Stop being ridiculous, we need people like him who trust our service to sustain the business."

"You are right, but is there no other way?" I think we are ripping off.

"When the end of the week comes and you don't have money in the box to pay the staff, you'll regret the attack of conscience."

Maybe, but at least I'll sleep peacefully. Also, he noted with concern that we do not have loyal customers at our service, this is the third time that Mr. Bradford will come, I bet you will not come later, even if you schedule the next fault because he will have caught us and could even sue us.

"Shut up and go to the office."

The end.

El mecánico pícaro y el señor Bradford

Ring ring ring.

—Atiende el teléfono por favor que tengo las manos llenas de grasa.

—Pásame la llave de tres cuartos y un poco de aceite desengrasante.— El aprendiz buscó las llaves en la mesa de las herramientas, pero no las vio.

—Aquí no está.

El experimentado mecánico volteo a mirarlo diciéndole:

—¡Ahí no! Mira adentro de la caja metálica de color azul.

—Peter era el señor Bradford, él viene en camino para dejarnos su carro.

—Por supuesto, ya había tardado mucho desde la última vez que le programamos la falla.

—Sabes Peter, siento pena por el señor Bradford.

—¡Déjate de ridiculeces!, nosotros necesitamos de gente como él, que confíe en nuestro servicio para sostener el negocio.—

—Tienes razón, ¿pero no habrá otra manera? Pienso que estamos estafando.

—Cuando llegue el fin de la semana y no tengas dinero en la caja con que pagarle al personal, lamentarás el ataque de consciencia.

—Tal vez, pero al menos dormiré tranquila. A demás notó con preocupación que no tenemos clientes fieles a nuestro servicio, esta es la tercera vez que vendrá el señor Bradford, te apuesto que luego no vendrá más, aunque le programes la próxima falla, porque nos habrá pillado y hasta pudiera demandarnos.

—¡Cállate y vete a la oficina!

What a grumpy mechanic lol. I liked the narrative as it leaves many questions to be answered by one's own imagination!

Hello @fenngen,

Pleased that it is to your liking. A grumpy mechanic. Imagine that he is the boss.

Stories to entertain and think is my goal in a short format adjusted to the immediacy of the network.

Thank you for stopping by.
