Turtle & Canary; Saturday [ 11/22 ]

Turtle was neither sick today or engaged in other, wedding-type activities, so she was pretty glad to just be at the store for a regular old shift. It might turn out well for her employees, too, that she was feeling pretty good, because she was working on budgeting for ~~Christmas~~ Holiday Bonuses behind the counter today.

Today's Squishy Flavors: Vanilla, Grape Judas, Red Matthew

Turtle & Canary is open!

Thank you, come again!

She's always happy to help!

"Turtle," Jeff said, poking his head out from an aisle, "I can't find any toothpaste!" It sounded urgent enough. After all, whenever they got involved with dental products, things had an awful habit of going absolutely wrong.

Turtle frowned a little at Jeff. If there was one thing that would be well stocked here, it would be toothpaste. "Did you check Aisle ~~Handwavey~~?"

"I did," Jeff said, sort of apologetically, "But all I can find is floss and you know how I feel about floss, it's very constricting." In more ways than one.

"Are you sure that the floss didn't just distract you from seeing the toothpaste?"

"Positive," he replied, sneaking ever non-sneakily out of the aisle, "I went back and checked. They do come in very distinctive packaging, you know."

"I just...I was pretty sure it was all stocked up not too long ago," Turtle frowned thoughtfully. "But we've got some in back, I'll just go get some. Do we really need any?"

For Turtle, running out of toothpaste just meant she didn't have to brush her teeth, and that was sometimes just preferable. As well as the reason why she was no stranger to cavities.

"We've been out for three days," Jeff coughed up immediately, "I know 'cos there's been some breath issues and I'd rather not spread them around. I mean, what if it gets so bad a breath forms this noxious gas cloud that sort of surrounds us and neither of us know 'cos both of us aren't brushing their teeth?"

Jeff breathed. Then he reached the counter and put his usual bag of doughnuts down on it.

Turtle just look at him a moment. "I'm pretty sure," she said, "someone would tell us, but give me just a second, I'll go back and get some more."

Jeff nodded the obedient nod of a man who had long since gleefully given away his right to determination of most activities to the woman behind the counter, and voiced an, "Okay," that communicated roughly the same.

"I brought doughnuts," he added, as an afterthought, "Although that might be setting the wrong example."

Turtle nodded back, thinking on the afterthought as she went into the back storage room and returned, not too long afterwards, with a box of toothpaste. "How many do you want?" she asked. "I'll get them; I get the discount, so it'll be cheaper. And what sort of wrong example could doughnuts set?"

Turtle was hoping she'd figure that one out while she was in the storage room, but, alas, nothing came to mind.

Well, something did. But that wasn't anything she'd actually admit to thinking.

"Three, just to be careful," Jeff said, carefully, and shoved the bag a little further across the desk. "But let's not stock the dresser with them this time, my fingers are still minty." He considered the bag for a few seconds before continuing, "Well, if you're going to chew something, it should probably be an apple."

Okay, that was much better than what Turtle had thought. She gave Jeff an odd, but amused, look as she plucked three things of toothpaste out of the larger box, and then pushed the larger box aside.

"Yeah," she agreed, "but they're not as tasty as doughnuts are."

"But they'd probably put an end to any more hygiene issues," Jeff pointed out. Hygiene issues. They were too horrible to even think about. He flopped against the counter. "The shop looks clean, though."

"I should hope so," Turtle commented, reaching for the bag. "I'm sure Apu's had a lot of time to clean, since he certainly isn't keeping things stocked."

The last bit was raised a little, to ensure that Apu heard.

Minsc's canon is totally eating my braaaaain today.

Even if stupid Imoen can't seem to find traps for crap today. *kicks her*
