Busy Busy

 Okay. 

Saturdays are busy days. 

That's a fact. 

But like...with the pandemic...Saturdays haven't been as busy...I mean they were rather crazy during December because it's Christmas and you're gonna have a bunch of people shopping anyways.

But after Christmas? It's expected to slow down again.

Especially for the second Saturday of the month. Like...it's January. Why are you all coming into the pet store to buy things?

In any case...I knew today was gonna be a 'bad' busy day when my very first customer of the day was a woman who wanted to get a fish tank and then I ended up spending a good 20 minutes helping said customer figure out what tank she wanted as well as getting her some fish. It became quite the process especially when she got it into her head that the tank she wanted was a different price than the one on the shelf and I had to show her the price of the tank she was getting was different and that the price she thought was the price of the tank was the price of the tank next to the tank she originally wanted. *exhales*

Yah. A process.

Follow that with a good 20 minutes of constant phone calls one right after the other....and yah. I knew it was going to be a bad busy day at work.

But like it was crazy busy.

Like Christmas rush sort of crazy busy.

We had 2 registers constantly going (because our 3rd was down) and the line was still reaching halfway down the store. 

We had customers waiting at the fish wall in a line there...and when they saw the line to check out...decided that they didn't want fish any more.

Like...you came shopping on a Saturday...of course there are gonna be lines.

But like....it was crazy how crazy it was.

I don't understand what it was about today that made everyone want to come out.

But I hope it was a fluke and that next Saturday isn't gonna be the same. *exhales*

Because dealing with tons of customers in the store on top of a pandemic is Not. Fun. 

Until you next find these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
