Tough Games

The game yesterday was between the LA Angels and the Texas Rangers. The Angels won, 12-1, in another slug-fest and before another huge crowd - 7738 fans. The projection for our stand was only 5500 fans so we were struggling the entire game to keep food out front to sell during the game. It is especially busy from about noon to almost the seventh inning - usually around 3:30 PM - when we usually get a breather and the crowd dwindles at the stand. We again had one new cashier and one that can't count change and rings up the incorrect amounts at the register. These problems always account for the difference between the goods sold and the cash numbers. It was off by about $400 following yesterday's game when we took in about $11K in sales. We found some of the difference in  the count of monster dogs and brats, but the rest has to be attributed to the cashier problem. Our other five cashiers, including Josie, are terrific and we can count on them for accurate figures.

Today's game starts late - 6:05 PM - and it is already a sellout. It will be between the Rangers and the SF Giants. It will almost certainly be the toughest game of the season for us to cover. That means over 10,000 fans will be there, and we will be looking at lines at each register that will probably be fifteen people deep for the major part of the game. Tomorrow's report on this game should be interesting.

Josie is feeling better and it seems that whatever she had has run its course. We will enjoy the extra time today before leaving for the night game at around 2:30 this afternoon. We will start to put things in their proper place for our planned trip with the fifth wheel on Monday to the dealership for the slideout repair. We're getting closer to the time when we need to get things organized anyway for our trip north to Jackson. Before we know it, that time will be here and we need to be ready...
