Thursday wasn't very difficult either, and a few people still managed to come into the shop despite the awful weather. Lara made cracks that she didn't say that it was okay if it snowed, no one checked with her, and the customers politely laughed before walking away to browse. Julie came in and visited Lara and I as we were sitting drinking some tea, something for the cold I felt brewing. Lara always has some organic tea to help us get through the day.
One thing that was really sad, however, was a woman who came in to look for a pink high necked dress with lace or ruffles, for her mom's burial outfit. I almost started crying, it was just so awful to think about. I don't think I could do something like that without emotionally breaking down, but my mom insisted she wants to be cremated so that wasn't a problem. Perhaps i'm being a bit morbid, but it's hard not to be when you see something like that.
On Friday, the day the snows began to fall heavy, we had a total of two customers come in to the shop. Me and Lara basically spent the whole time cleaning. It started with me sweeping out the back area of my own accord and then tackling the shelves below the display cases that desperately needed to be organized. I'm big on organization and cleaning. After that was done, I swept the store, Lara vaccumed, and we windexed everything in sight. It was looking very clean by the time Jason walked in and announced that I could go home, because the snow was getting awful outside. I thanked him and left, but he said we'd still be shooting on Sunday, and to bring my black heels.
