I have never thought about that. You might be correct on that one. It has been driving me nuts for a few years now. What is so funny about this business is that on Saturday morning between 6am and 7am all the old people show up. I am talking about 80 years old. Then around noon the younger people show up. Then around 5 the middle age men with golf clothes show up. It is too funny.

Euro, old people tend to rise very early, so this makes sense. If you look at a Church mass on Sunday morning, the earliest mass(usually 7 AM) is usually chock full of old folks. The younger crowd tends to party on Friday night which would explain them showing up at noon. The middle aged guys wake up, take care of the errands that the wife and kids need done, then try and play golf or the ponies on a Saturday. They then stop and hit the store, or in your case, get an oil change. had you given me those three groups without telling me which showed up when, I would have had all three pegged. Give me another group without telling me the times they show.

Soccer Moms would arrive in midmorning on weekdays, 11-2. The kiddies have been gotten off to school and they've cleaned up breakfast dishes and the house a little. Time to hit the grocery store and get an oil change.

Laborers tend to rise and go straight to work. They work their nuts off all day and the last thing they wanna do right after work is tedious errands. They wanna chill out and rest or have a few beers. They would come in the evening before going home for the night.

You are pretty much dead on. Soccer moms are from 10-1 and always the day that the coupon expires (and they never really expire). Laborers are funny. First you are right, they always come in smelling like a good beer and cig. But they always want to be right there with the tech. Like they need to be under the hood. Freaking cracks me up.
