And we were busy. We are a three man crew manning the bag check/security area. Mostly it is the right amount. We were certainly glad to have help when it was time for lunches though. None of us would have wanted to do two man crews while it was so busy.
I complimented scarves and hair colors today. Taking a page from my littles who love to tell people how pretty or handsome they are. It makes people feel good. And every little feel good helps when it is so busy and they are going to have to wait in lines to get their books.
One woman had come up to me. Due to whatever circumstances in her life she missed picking up the reserved books for her autistic son. She did not know we were open on Saturday. So today she stood in the line for 45 minutes, only to find the books had been reshelved. She was then told she needed to go back to textbooks, find the books and again stand in the line. When she asked me about it on her way out I made an executive decision and told her to get her books and we would let her just pay for them. And that's what we did. Little things sometimes help in the grand scheme of life.
We did have to stop the store once. We were amazed because we didn't have to do that once during fall. Sometimes it is just funny how business goes.
It was a long busy day and I'm ready for sleep. Wish the littles were.
