May had been running all day, last minute Christmas stuff. She was delighted to see the pharmacy open at 6.15. The kids loved the bath bombs and May loved the colourful box. They were all she could afford. When she asked the Pharmacist, he told her the box sets were all gone. May was devasted. On the way out of the shop, she met the younger pharmacist, Nora.
May told her the box sets were all gone. Nora reassured her. ‘Don’t worry, I’ve stashed a few away for you May. The boss tries to keep them for his wealthy clients.’

So shall we call that a bombshell, Rona? :) 28/12/2023 07:29:58 pm
This happened to me before - the manager said the cool reader tablets on sale were all gone. I moseyed around and found a sweet smiling sales clerk who went to the back of the store and came out with what the manager claimed to be all gone. I caught her frown as she watched the salesman check me out. I smiled and yelled across the room, "Better get yours while they last!" Funny thing was, I bought the last one. Thanks for the reminder. Nice story!
