This is a normal scene outside a Spanish business. This dry cleaning business has hours from 10am to 1:45pm and from 5:00pm to 8:15pm. The employee working here didn't bother to show up until 10:20am. The young lady looked to be clothes shopping with her boutique bag she was carrying. The three of us were waiting outside. Plus a delivery truck person ended up getting the woman in black to sign for a package for the cleaning business.
Last week I waited outside a business that rents computer time, for an hour past opening time with three other people. This is after I had asked the same person earlier what time his business opened in the afternoon. He pointed to the hours posted on the door!
I find this "cultural" nuance ironic in a country where 50% of working age people don't work.
