Yeah that's basically your classic American barber. Gossipy, usually bored, willing to hang around, joke and talk. That's what I love about actual barber shops, guys in my neighborhood will just hang around there too if their friends/neighbors are getting a cut. It's usually a one hour experience minimum, even though the cut takes 15 min and cost $12.
I always thought the joke was that after almost 400 years, the barbershop experience was the same. You could replace Capt Picard with Andy Griffith and Mot with Floyd and no one would blink.
