Stop in and get everything you need
for your new semester at Fandom High!
Of course, the first thing the Merchant of Miracles took care of with the new semester was for some new signage, all big and bold and sparkling with glitter to help attract more people into the store to hopefully think that they were missing things that they didn't actually need. Of course, it helped that he also sold a lot of the things people did need, so they came in anyway, which was a pretty sweet gig, but he could be doing so, so much better.
And so there were a lot of signs all throughout the store, signs of arrows pointing to various things (Notebooks! Pencil Cases! Backpacks! Fancy little soaps shapes like animals!). Not pointing out that they were on sale, mind you, just that they were there and they were for sale. A very important distinction.
There was also the debate with Apu about whether or not they needed to hire more staff. Apu insisted the Help Wanted sign at the start of a semester was a tradition; the Merchant argued that saving on overhead by not hiring anyone was his tradition. No sign, the Merchant said. But he had put up so many other signs that he didn't even notice when Apu had sneakily put it on the door anyway.
