    A customer brings her son's pants to a tailor because they have problems - the zipper is broken and there is a rip in the back pocket. The tailor says he can easily fix these issues by installing a new zipper and sewing the pocket. The customer also asks if the tailor can lengthen the pants because they are too short, and the tailor says he can let down the cuffs to address this without any trouble. However, when the customer asks to pick up the pants that day, the tailor responds that this would be a problem.
