One of the most interesting things I did today was stuff a pair of overalls, a polo shirt, and a flannel with some clothes from the recycling pile. It was for the closest we have to a scarecrow.
The manager said that the whole thing with stuffing a scarecrow with clothes came was a tradition that she grew up on, and it was either last night or some other night that she had a dream that involved doing something like that. At first, she wasn't sure where she would put a scarecrow but then realized that it could be done in the window.
In the last couple of hours before closing time, she and her boyfriend and I worked on the window display. It's a Halloween theme with costumes, black shirts, orange shirts, and more. There's even a smoke machine involved. (The person on the register joked that the manager needed to stop smoking. I don't know if she actually does smoke or not.)
We did get a couple of donations today, but I really do think they are starting to calm down. I've more or less run out of clothes to deal with.
