The kind of days you could have

Good days

  • A sold-out show starts on time and the audience leaves smiling
  • A booking that looked impossible finally clicks into place for a family
  • Ranging the new season's products and watching them sell out

Hard days

  • A noisy audience member who is spoiling the evening for everyone else
  • Standing for hours on a night when the crowd is big and the doors are busy
  • Choosing what to buy months ahead, and finding out later you guessed wrong
