Bad timing; bad location, Mouse. You SHOULD show and BE sadness that this is happening. Then, when the store is closing, offer Pearl to take sellable remainder on either consignment or outright buy. Then sell those supplies at a “help out Pearl” discount. That a) Helps out a fellow craft store owner; b) Draws her customers and builds up good will; c) Allows YOUR customers to help out, providing unity with Pearls customers, and; d) Allows for a modest profit on suddenly quick-moving inventory.
Uncle B & Trev… Yah, Mouse is a bit… too vocal on this matter… he couldn’t keep it inside.
Yat… if he was smart!
RN… the idea is to retire… and sit in a pool with all the other old people… and drink, whatever old people drink in Florida. Pearl is an old-y.
Pete: Okay, Pete… You’re HIRED!
Trev… DEFINITELY a numbers guy… not really connecting there with the people. I think that’s his mom and aunts’ job…. the connecting part… thus the conflict.
Just think how happy he would be if Pearl had passed away suddenly and the store had closed immediately.
Well, you can’t fault him for enthusiasm! Might need to dial it back JUST a touch…..
Mouse is making a mental note to order more gingham.
Maybe she could open up a store in Florida.

But what do I know?
Pete: A lot more than Mouse about human relations I’m thinking lol! He’s definitely a numbers guy.
