Conversation 122 (Listen and Read)

Will you be able to finish taking inventory today?

No, it's been a hectic day.

We have had to tally up the products and reconcile the data in the system while assisting customers.

Yeah, some of the shoppers even got antsy while waiting at the checkout.

You should've seen the look on their faces.

Don't beat yourselves up.

I have to say, I'm impressed that you two are already halfway through.

Say we close early tomorrow, would you be able to finish it up?

It should be fine. The beginning of the week is typically slow.

There are indeed far fewer customers on Mondays.

Why don't we see how many items we can count, though,

before we decide to shorten our business hours?
