EL: Welcome to the resort shop...oh, that's you, Ian. Sorry, I'm just on automatic, welcome anyway. What can I help you with?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ian: Everything looks great. Are you going to want me to take photos now or tomorrow.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ian: I really need another pair of jeans.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
EL: I thought about you with that white tee with the graphic. Maybe tomorrow night, I still have the gals rack to fill...it's only half done.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ian: Yea, that would be okay, but this awesome Disney Tee---I had one like that when I was 10.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
EL: How about those weird sneakers or are they climbing shoes?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
EL: I think we will have a good season despite no one traveling right now. Besides it's snowing again, so we aren't putting out the swim suits until June, since travel for Spring Break was so down,.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ian: Anything special you want photos of this week? You know I think you need a bigger focal point on the clothes rack...what about a scooter, bicycle or something like that?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
EL: Great idea! We just need some bright colors and happiness...everyone is so down with the weather...and the economic forecasts.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ian: Well, I'm here to give you a lift up, (Gives her a little nudge).
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
EL: I'm just tired, how about we go down the street for dinner?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ian: Hmmmm, I'd love to give you a little bite...but, dinner sounds great.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
EL: How can a girl refuse an invitation like that! (Long smooooch!)

LIGHTS OUT...intercom ...
Thank you for shopping Vickie's Vintage and Resort shop, we will be closing in five minutes. Please bring your purchases to the check out, and we hope you have had a wonderful experience at Vickie's.
EL: There goes the cameras...we are on camera now...so behave.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ian: The lights dimming are a nice touch...you really want to shuffle me and shoppers out? (Looks around at no one in the resort shop).
Vickie over the intercom: No one up here either, ready to close EL?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
EL: Vickie, Ian is the last and just leaving, I'm closing out the register right now.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ian: I'll meet you outside... and the store looks great, I think I know someone selling a scooter. I'll give them a call.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
EL: Sure, meet ya upstairs! (Yikes, this is the slowest day ever...Hope I can still have a job, if business gets worse. At least nothing we sell has tariffs. Maybe the secondary markets will get stronger when everyone realizes how much new imported stuff is going to cost?????)
