All buying fake blood and vampire teeth?

Yep, and complaining that we had hardly any good full costumes left, without seeming to realise that leaving it until the last minute kind of guarantees a lack of stock.
What other times of year are busy for you?
Um, it varies. Today was very busy, but there's not really any other specific times of the year. We sell lots of Father Christmas suits and costumes for New Year, but there seem to also be just random weeks where lots of people come in for birthday stuff.
I'm just really hoping the other girl ends up as Wednesday Addams, or that'll be the costume I get.
What will you be if not Wednesday Addams?
I have no clue. Lots of the costumes are selling out already, but I know that Wednesday hasn't sold at all yet - and the fancy dress guy chose it to buy in, and so really wants it to do well.
Aparently I'm not allowed to have a f**king opinion in my house. I'm so angry and upset I could put my fist through something. Preferably someone's face.
What has silly old Dan done?

I like Wednesday Addams, but I'm not sure I'd want to dress up like a 9 year old girl.

What's the best costume you sell?
I have to dress up as a devil for Halloweens.

I don't want to wear a wig, basically. ITCHYYY!

There's an okayish skeleton one and an okayish witch one, but all the women's ones are either awful or slutty. Or both. The men's ones are much better.

I didn't meet him to get his address but you can upload through the popcorn website.
Cold.
Put a thicker jumper on.
I am wearing a hat and scarf.
And nothing else? Kinky.
