Happy Valentine’s Day from the front lines. I can always tell who forgot because they will come sprinting in around 5 pm looking for roses like we secretly have a back room full of them. The panic in their eyes is real and suddenly everything is an emergency. We sold out of the good stuff hours ago but somehow it is my fault. Why does this holiday turn perfectly normal adults into last minute survival mode every single year?

It's just the way some people respond to any holiday, or maybe any event on the calendar. They ignore it until they can't and then it's all a big emergency. When I'm confronted by frantic last-minute shoppers I try to help them, but some of them are people who just can't be helped, they live for the drama.

It’s always this way. And somehow you have to accommodate and understand their panic as if it’s your own 😆.

Honestly, it disappoints me a little bit how people act. No planning, no forethought. They knew this holiday was coming every single year and every single year they act like it doesn't matter.

Valentine’s Day really brings out the panic mode in otherwise calm people. Everyone thinks there’s a hidden stash and suddenly you’re the emergency hotline for roses. It’s wild how one holiday can turn grown adults into last-minute shoppers overnight.
