Way too early!

Posted by Erin on November 29, 2008 at 5:33pm
Scheduled as the opener on Black Friday. 2:30 in the very dark morning. Wow.So My dad and sister took coffee to the endless lines of early morning shoppers and sold them for 2, 3, and 4 dollars each depending on what kind. We sold lattes, mochas, hot cocoas, and drip coffees. They ate it up!While the pops and sis were walking the lines, mommyo and I completed the whole day's chores in less than 2 hours. The coffee shop was so slow!!Finally the stores opened, and we rung in all the drinks that were sold. They totaled $176 and some change. So we counted out the cash, set it on the counter, and put the rest in the till. Holy Crap!! we each made 60 bucks in tips.I could barely keep my eyes open the whole morning! I had gotten 3 hours of sleep the night before, and every word that came out of my mouth sounded like "lkasiieeslffleifffaaslgs". My body screamed for my bed, and my eyes itched SO BADLY. Every minute was one closer to clocking out, and taking my leave.Cassie, just shut up about only getting 6 hours of sleep. You are looking at the queen of unsleepingness.Come to find out, the morning spent selling to the lines wasn't actually that great profit-wise...we accidentally put the tip money in the till, and divvied out the actual charge. OOPS! Haha. Scratch the warnings I voiced to my sister about keeping a tight lip on the tip profit! Next year we'll have to hit up more stores earlier and faster. :) Yummy YummyI slept from 8am to 2:30pm. I don't think I've ever been able to do that before.Was it worth it? Probably not. Will I do it again next year? Probably. (good family experience and all)Note to self: go to bed earlier next time. Don't waste your time "helping decorate" at 9pm the night before when there is a mass of 24 people called family in the way. No way Hosea!
