Saturday was a great day in retail with many infrequent shoppers out.
One lady purchased a valentine’s Day card after lunch and I quipped with a smile: leaving it a bit late! She smiled and said after we said we’d give Valentine’s Day a miss this year he went and gave me a card so her I am. We shared a good laugh.
Later in the day a mum brought in her son (in his late twenties and who still lives at home) and said – there you are, go on, you have to get her a Valentine’s Day card. This mum then selected the card and pushed him to the counter.
I still can’t figure out, however, why someone would purchase three Valentine’s Day cards.
It was a busy day with plenty of laughs and terrific sales.
One of my favourite customers is a very burly “bloke” that brought two cards to the counter. Not commenting I scanned them and took the money but he remained at the counter then nervously asked if I’d write on one. Obviously seeing my surprise he went on to explain he had a 14 year old step-daughter that needed a confidence boost so wanted to leave an anonymous one in the letterbox for her. I went on to write a short, cute message “To the girl that walks her dog on Fridays”.
I hope it worked 😉
