âAnd that is how you take payment,â Darcie said as she closed the drawer of the till.
âI think Iâve got it,â Ellie said. âAnd most people pay by card now, right?â
âYes. We rarely take cash now unless itâs for smaller items. Card is so convenient.â
âIt is.â Ellie gave a small nod. âI donât tend to carry cash these days. I remember Aunt Iris giving me pocket money when I lived here.â
âHow much?â
âThree pounds a week. It seemed like a fortune back then.â
âThree pounds used to get you a lot.â Darcie smiled.
âI used to save it to buy music cassette tapes.â
âThose were the days!â
âItâs so nice to speak to someone who understands what it was like to have to rewind a cassette to hear a song again.â
They laughed at the memory.
âAre youâre sure youâre happy to do this?â Darcie asked.
âIâm delighted to have the chance to work with you. I need to learn about the stock and to get some fashion tips from you about how to add on items when people are shopping but I think I can do this. I mean⦠the stock is wonderful so it probably sells itself, right?â

Ellie walked around, admiring the ranges that were colour coded and in size order then she ran her hands over the leather and suede jackets that came in a vast array of colours and styles. There were some beautiful vintage items in the shop and Darcie had done an amazing job of setting things up so shoppers could come in and browse or even come in with something in mind that they would probably find in the shop. It was, she thought, a proper vintage boutique. Excitement rushed through her as she realised that she was going to be working here, even if temporarily. Sheâd have to be careful not to spend all her wages in the shop because there was plenty here to tempt her.
Twenty minutes later, Darcie was back with a paper bag and a tray holding two takeaway coffees. She set them on the counter and looked around. âItâs been quiet then?â
âVery. One lady came in and she looked at the boots but then she left again. I did try to help her but she said she was looking for something very specific and hadnât seen it.â
âYouâll find that we get customers like that whoâre just looking to have a browse but then youâll get some who come in with no intention of spending but then they get carried away when they see what weâve got. The things is, with it being vintage, a lot of it is one of a
