Discerning

Mary returned from lunch to find an older fellow sitting in the lobby, quietly reading. We didn't have any patients scheduled for that time.


Mary: "Hi, can I help you, sir?"

Mr. Natgeo: (turns a page, doesn't look up) "Thank you, I have an appointment with Dr. Intouch."

Mary: "Her office is right across the hall, this is Drs. Grumpy & Pissy's office."

Mr. Natgeo: "I know, I told them I'm in here, they said they'll come get me when they're ready to take me back."

Mary: "Oh, okay. Her lobby must be packed today."

Mr. Natgeo: "No, it's just that you guys have much better magazines."

So how did he know what magazines you have? Does he just randomly wander into surrounding areas looking for magazines before his appointments?
But if word gets around, you might be in line to score new patients :)
