How long does it take to get a haircut?

norsegirlToday I told Jason to go and get a haircut. We need to have our passport photos taken and he looks decidedly shaggy. Though really that's just a convenient excuse to make him go do it and not wait another month or two until it's hanging in his eyes instead of looking vaguely like a tribble landed on his head, which is how it looks now. Did I mention Jason hates going and getting his hair cut? I'm not sure if it's the wasted time, the actual hair-cutting act or just having to spend money on himself that he hates, but he certainly does avoid it like the plague. I think he gets 4 haircuts a year, if I pressure him. About the only thing he avoids with more efficiency is going to the doctor and actually discussing problems with the doctor instead of having a routine physical and saying "everything's fine".
Anyway, his instructions were to go get a haircut and then stop at Wal-Mart on the way home and pick up a small list of grocery items. Nothing too challenging really, and not an enormous week's worth of food shopping list or anything. Just the ingredients for one simple meal. Most of which is in the produce section. It's been over two hours. Maybe coming up on three. I know he left some time after 3pm but before 3:30. His plan was not to actually go further than about 3 blocks from our house, so the travel time should be 5 or 10 minutes depending on the lights. Do haircuts really take that long? Is he lost and overwhelmed at Wal-Mart? Or should I actually be getting worried about him?
I'm hoping he comes back soon because there's someone on Craigslist selling a Tripp Trapp chair for a pretty good price. It's not the exact colour I wanted, but it is my second choice and at less than half of retail it's a pretty good bargain. But she's got other interested parties and isn't willing to hold it for me. If he gets home soonish I might get the chair. If he stays out another hour it will probably be sold. Ah well, if I don't get it, then it wasn't in the cards I guess.
