Fandom Post Office, June 20 (Tuesday)
Tuesday, June 20th, 2017 06:06 amThere was a small pyramid display of bottles of scented lotions on the counter this morning, and Éponine wasn't asking. (Taking a few for herself, because she was perhaps a little overly invested in not having chapped skin any more, but not asking where they had come from or why they were there, because this was, after all, Fandom.) She did put up a small sign that said "TAKE SOME (please)" next to the display, though, because what else was she going to do with them?
She could have charged for them, and kept the money. It had occurred to her. But mostly, they were taking up space, and she could get rid of them more quickly this way.
Besides, she was going to be too busy fielding phone calls from someone who wanted to know where their package was, because it hadn't yet arrived. As it was currently in a dimension without access to online tracking she couldn't offer the customer that option, but she got the distinct impression that the customer felt like the repeated calls would make it arrive more quickly.
"Look here," she said at one point during one of those calls, "whoever sent your parcel, whatever it is, used the camel-back scenic route shipping rate. There's not much I can do about it now, but perhaps it'll arrive with some pretty pictures of the trip?"
