As he stepped out of his truck, whispers started floating through the shop’s open door. Curious, he peeked inside and saw an old mechanic adjusting tires with meticulous care. ‘Morning,’ said the mechanic without looking up. The delivery driver nodded, then noticed something odd—everyone else seemed frozen mid-action. Turning around quickly, he found himself face-to-face with his own reflection in a large mirror behind the counter. 'Must be early,' he muttered, smiling, as he realized it was just another sleepy Monday morning.'

Due to an unusual tire shortage, please wait until your tires spontaneously generate themselves before returning.’ As days passed, locals began leaving their cars outside with no tires at all—just parked there, waiting patiently. A regular stopped by one afternoon and asked jokingly, 'Hey, do you accept pre-order payments?' The owner shrugged and replied, 'We’re taking orders, but delivery is… spontaneous!'
