ON THE STREET

This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "How long would you wait on someone who is late for an appointment?"

Steve Hamblin, Jackson

"If it's something simple I'd give them 10 or 15 minutes. If it's an appointment I initiated and they're late it depends on how important it is. I might wait an hour."

Vicki Goodier, Jackson

"I'd say probably 15 minutes."

Tim LeGrand, Oran

"About 15 minutes."

Jane Rembush, Washington

"Half an hour. I'm very patient."

Bob Keller, Cape Girardeau

"Oh, five minutes, that's it. That's it."
