I ended up working the 4'th. About midmorning a coworker, noting the unusual number of customers in the store, said, "What are all these people doing here? Why aren't they home drinking beer and setting off fireworks?"
I'm glad I worked though, A guy was in last week looking at tool boxes. He had put in for a job as a diesel mechanic and was figuring out what he would need. He got the job and yesterday, he came in to buy a nice toolbox (not the one with the 'fridge) and some tools. With some customers,you just feel good being there for them.
