I was emptying the trash at the DU Bookstore yesterday, and found that all of our "next in line" signs were being tossed out. The Bookstore will be taken over by a contract management company starting February 29th and so everything must go. My friend Valarie - the former Operations Manager at the University of Denver Bookstore - designed these signs to be used during the busy first days of each quarter. The signs appeared after one particularly strong-lunged temporary cashier caused permanent ear damage to some staff members while trying to attract the next customers in line. Once Valarie distributed these signs, the change was stunning. All the cashiers suddenly became mimes, waving their signs, gesturing, doing everything they could do to attract the eye of the next person in line except speak. Personally, I felt the need to say at least something - "next please" - but then again, as everyone likes to tell me, I'm a bit on the eccentric side (i.e. crazy).
