When they saw a bunch of us workers leave the building ten minutes before our doors were supposed to open for Black Friday. lol
I mean, there had to be at least a dozen cars already waiting in the parking lot.
It was cold enough outside that nobody was standing outside the door until like two minutes before we opened our doors.
In any case.
The reason why basically everyone streamed out the doors was simple.
My Head Manager was being overly paranoid.
He told us all that we needed to move our cars to the back of the parking lot.
Why?
Because it was going to 'get crazy' and he didn't want any of our cars to get damaged in the process.
I suppose it was a valid concern.
Though...not really one for my work.
I mean....its a Petstore.
Its not ToysRUs, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, any of those retail stores that have crazy customers fighting to get in the doors. Where people are anxious to park and fighting for spots in the parking lot.
No.
Its a PetStore.
I mean...it doesn't really get busy busy on Black Friday til lunch time.
lol but we humored him.
And dashed out into the cold before the store opened, to move our cars further away from the store. That was fun in windy coldness lol.
Before we all dashed back inside for last minute checks before we let our customers in. :)
It wasn't so bad. Like 40 people, orderly came through the door when we opened up. They all walked to their places they wanted to go. And Tada! We were busy for like an hour helping the early customers before the store pretty much died until lunch time. lol. No crazy fights, no running. Yah. Pet owners may be crazy in many ways, but they definitely know how to shop in a non animalistic manner. ;) lol
In any case, when I left, the parking lot was full.
But not crazy full.
I suppose its better to be safe than sorry.
:)
Yay for surviving Black Friday once more! :)
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
