Originally Posted by Anna Banana As the conversation with Lucy continued, Nailah thought about how many people had told her she was lucky to own and operate a candy shop. Lucy was lucky, too, though. Thoughts of butterbeer, endless hot meals, and even a place to nap if you wanted to. Lucky for her, the conversation drifted back to the displays, and Nailah's thought process drifted back with it. "Oh, I have loads of packing," Nailah replied. She disappeared behind the counter for a bit, and when she returned, she had a pamphlet with her. "These are the types you can choose from." The pamphlet revealed a selection of different boxes, all of a different size, shape, and pattern. There were bows to go along with each package, too. As she left Lucy with the pamphlet, she went behind the counter again and totaled up today's services. She returned with a receipt, which she handed to Lucy. "Oh, I can definitely get it to you by then!" She jotted down a few notes, just as a new customer appeared. "Well, hello there," Nailah said, noting the lady behind the counter. She'd been so busy with Lucy's order that she hadn't seen this new customer come though the door. Apparently she didn't need any help, though, because she'd gathered a whole basket full of treats and laid them out on the counter. "That looks like an awesome selection!" She began totaling up the cost then let the customer know what she owed. "Can I do anything else for you today?" She took a deep breath and glanced around the shop as Nailah retrieved the pamphlet, making note of the fudge. That would be on her next order. A nice selection of fudge. She even considered taking a pound or two back that day, but she was already going to be going into sugar overload sampling what she already got. "Thanks. I'll look this over while you help the lady ready to check out."
The variety of boxes was vast. Most too large for what she had in mind to place on pillows, but on the upper left was just the right one. It was just the size to hold three truffles, one of each flavor, and had a nice maroon matte finish. Simple and subdued. Upon Nailah's return, she smile. "This is the perfect box. The maroon box in the upper left." She pointed as she handed the pamphlet back. "I'll take three dozen to start. Please have your logo on the top. I can package the truffles at the Leaky if you send them over in bulk on our planned schedule." That was the least she could do. Plus, it had to be easier to store the truffles out of the little boxes and simply package them each evening before turn-down.
She looked over the receipt, making sure proper funds had been exchanged, before looking back to Nailah. "It appears that everything is in order. I look forward to our first delivery and it's been a pleasure doing business with you." She held out her hand to shake before turning to leave.
