Doggie Bag Days Season 2: Day 53

My day basically started with clearing out-of-season stuff that had been stored under some tables so that said tables could be moved. (The stuff that was cleared out was taken to a storage area in an upstairs area that has to be access from outside. I've been upstairs a couple of times.)

In the past week or two, the fate of the back room fell more or less onto me, if not the manager, as there had been no one else available for whatever reason. However, a couple of girls were in today. (One of them I had met before, but for the other, this was her first day.) Parts of the day were spent tagging and hanging up clothes and parts of it were spent finding places to put things up front (especially that which pertained to Christmas).  I think at least one of the girls was able to put a major dent in the pile of clothes that was behind the counter in the back room. It doesn't look like we'll be caught up any time soon, but I think it's a step in the right direction. (What of it the manager will be putting out this week remains to be seen.)

The dining room table that we have had up for sale as of last week still is, but it's also being used to display some things for now. (Presumably, the chairs that the HSP had brought with said table are supposed to go with it). At some point, a computer chair came in, and that has been put up for sale. (You'd be surprised by some of the things that get sold there.)

Closer to the end of the day, I straigtened the bargain room a bit, putting like items close together on the shelves and putting clothes of the same color of each size together. (The more cohesive the displays are kept, the better.) I think some dents may have been made in that as well, especially the kids' section (unless we haven't had much to put there). We might be able to put more out there. Who knows?
