Casualties and Rewards

Casualties of working a Friday evening:
~one lost earring
~7 minutes of unpaid time because customers wouldn't leave
~missing out on yet another social event

Rewards of working a Friday evening:
~one $10 gift card as a thank-you for helping with a display
~chips and salsa on the store
~one torn book taped back together and brought home free for book club next month

And so follows the ebb and flow of the retail life.
