No Waiting

So it's the Saturday before Christmas right?

Like one of the busiest days of the year.

Because everyone is out doing their last minute Christmas Shopping.

And our store was no exception to this.

Like even with up to three registers going we still had lines reaching the back of the store.

Which is crazy. Like I know with social distancing that the lines seem longer than they actually are because people need to stand further apart from each other.

But I've never seen lines that long.

And like...if you're shopping the Saturday before Christmas...you kinda have to expect to wait in a line no matter where you go.

People are everywhere.

There are gonna be lines everywhere.

But we had one customer today decide that they didn't want to wait in the line to buy their doggie nail clippers. 

And so went to our adoption group. 

Which the individuals there who do the adoptions in no way shape or form work for our store.

They just come in to adopt out cats (and rarely dogs).

But they don't interact with our registers at all.

But the customer decided to go to the adoption group that was here today to adopt out kitties for Christmas...and gave them the approximate cash amount that the nail clippers would cost to basically give to us later.

Like...seriously?

Honestly the adoption group could have pocketed the money and we would have not been the wiser.

But thankfully our adoption group people are honest and so when they saw one of us -aka me- flagged me down and explained the situation.

And I ended up having to go stand in line at the register with the same product that the customer took so that we could ring it up through the register and then use the cash the customer gave to the adoption group to buy the product to buy the product.

*exhales*

Like...i get it's not fun waiting in line. I know the trials.

But seriously. If you didn't want to wait...you could have just ordered online and done a curbside pick up. You would have a much less of a wait time doing that if you didn't want to stand in line. *shakes head*
