I've been wondering if it was a customer who came up when I really needed to poop. I'm sorry mystery person. I needed to poop, I wasn't mad at you.

Oh, it's very obvious the migration hasn't really started yet, but I've seen enough plates from NJ to make me wonder. And it really is mostly NJ plates. I saw a CO plate and one PA plate I think, but several NJ. Weird. Give it another couple weeks and they'll all be here.

Yeah. They tend to not settle here for the Winter, mostly they keep going further south. And only stop in my area for like gas, food, ect ect.

Yeah, they all come here /eyeroll/ The streets get literally twice the traffic as during the summer and they all forget that some of us actually live here and have places to be (far too many people driving really slowly and stupidly). I'm not looking forward to it.

lmao, the poop comment/reply. lol working retail always has good/bad stories.

Sorry I stepped away, I made coffee and then my sister called. She's having a bad week.

I lived in a tourist/snow-bunny town in the mountains for 5 years. Summers were insane.

@Another Movie Addict: Probably not. Unless they stop there to rest for a couple of days and decide to poke around town. They all come here...

@Koah: So you know the pain - just on the opposite side of the spectrum!

For your store? They might, actually.
I just hope the snowbirds leave their covid behind them - talk about instantaneously skyrocketing our numbers with what is really a bunch of out-of-staters

tourists were so bad in the mountains, we'd get these tourist busses that would stop and drop off Asian visitors. I was in my uniform [western outfit, full-on, cowboy hat, loose riding gear, boots, etc] and I was holding my one-year-old son who was bald. I got bombarded with cameras. I was walking up to work and meeting my mom there, so she could take care of my baby. I think a good dozen and a half Asians surrounded me and snapped my picture. [without permission] Just because I looked exciting, i guess with a bold baby.

@Koah: Well, it makes for a good story, but I can imagine that would be a little daunting. :(

@Another Movie Addict: Why?
