Please be kind to retail workers. It can be a stressful time of year, but that's no excuse to treat us as subhuman.
Are we distracted? We're trying to help five people at once. Can't locate anyone? Consider that we may all be helping others, and don't shout abuse at the next one of us you see.

Scenes from the bookstore:
A woman couldn't find a book. She gave me a high five & called me a rockstar when I found it.
I was cashing out a woman when she said, "You're so pretty! Like a mermaid! Like Ariel" She walked back through the store later & called out "Have a wonderful night, Ariel!"

treasurers ---> treasures
The first refers to the people who count the monetary worth of treasure (valuables), the second refers to the treasure found. A typo the eye can easily skip over, but I think you'd be disappointed if you went hunting for gems and found a group of accountants instead!

Every time I even *think* about not checking the spelling of what feels like the thousandth name during a proof, inevitably the next name is spelled incorrectly. So, evergreen reminder for copyeditors and proofreaders: Always, always, always check names!
