Owning a candy and cookie shop, I see it all! Love, heartbreak and gossip all happen in my little store. I live in a small historic town that has weekly events. Looking out the windows of my little store, I heard the band that had set up in the courtyard in front of the courthouse. My door chimed as the yearlies came in for their weekly treat.
Mr. Yearlie said, "Good afternoon, Mags, what are you working on today?"
Bringing out the tray of samples, I said, "These are chocolate walnut clusters with cranberries."
They each tried one and Mrs. Yearlie said, "I think we would like a dozen in a to-go box. Mr. Yearli said, "we also would like two orange dream ice cream drinks."
As i prepared thier drinks we talked. I hoped one day I would find someone to have a relationship like they have. When I was finished making their drinks I rang up their items and cashed them out.
After they left, I rang out a few customers for the items in the case and packaged items. When the afternoon slump started i went to the kitchen and started gathering the supplies for the next day's treats. The rest of the afternoon was spent helping customers. When i closed the shop, i finished cleaning up the shop and filled the vending machine for my store. Then I started the task of packing the remaining items and started to prepare the candy for the following day.
Mags- main
Yearlies- older customer
