Workdays to walk through

  1. Workday 01 · The Signing

    Thursday · 5:40 PM

    A visiting author arrives forty minutes early wanting things Noreen didn't promise. The register still has to be staffed, and eighty people are on their way.

  2. Workday 02 · Nothing To Do

    Tuesday · 9:55 AM

    A quiet morning, one lingering regular, and a phone order that isn't as simple as it sounds. The hard part is deciding what's actually worth your attention.

  3. Workday 03 · What It Costs

    Sunday · 4:10 PM

    Wren asks you to cover again. This time saying yes means giving something up that actually matters to you, and saying no might cost her more than a shift.

Practice steps

These get harder as you go. Tick the ones you have actually done at work — nobody is grading this.
