Shop Atmosphere

“Gran Kettlewick insists on haggling in exchange for a story. Each purchase (regardless of price) grants the buyer a brief, possibly prophetic anecdote — sometimes useful, often bizarre — and she will only accept payment in coins that have been flipped with her tiny brass hammer once (she taps it against the counter, coins that ring true are accepted). The shop's clocks are always five minutes slow; patrons who wait exactly five minutes after purchase sometimes find a small extra item tucked into their bag.”
