All of Them

 We had a customer call the store today like...ten minutes before we closed, asking if we had any mystery snails in stock.

Whcih...yah...we did.

And the dude was like "Great! I'm right here, I'll be right in to grab all of them."

And sure enough at like 9 right on the dot when we closed...I see a guy walk in and head over to the fishwall.

*exhales*

Like....is there really a good reason to walk in right at closing time for animals? No. No there isn't. Surely this could have waited until tomorrow morning. 

Or like the dude could have come in even an hour earlier.

But to come in right at close and demand ALL our snails?

Yah. Didn't like him on sight. 

Because we usually have a ton of mystery snails on hand. 

Unless we didn't get in any on our shipments there's usually a good 40 or more of them in the tank.

And to fish them all out would take time. Time that I really didn't want us to have to waste when we had already closed for the night.

*shakes head*

However.

The dude ended up only taking like 15 mystery snails. A combination of our ivory, blue, and gold ones. 

As he'd never seen 'light' mystery snails before. 

Soo I'm guessing he's only ever seen the black mystery snails? Who knows.

In any case.

He hadn't expected us to have a good 40 snails in the tank as apparently other pet stores he's visited only ever have like...ten in stock.

So he wasn't expecting to get more than like...ten of them.

It was so unexpected that we had so many snails for him that he didn't even bring in enough cash to buy the 15 snails he ended up getting and he had to run out to his car to get more money in order to pay for all of them.

*shakes head*

At least he didn't totally wipe us out of our mystery snails. So bonus there.
