I received a call today from a scheduler asking me to pick up a gardening center shop, that I love to do in normal weather. She called just as I was finishing several shops in the 105 degree and humid day in Phoenix today. I was sooo hot when she called and I blurted out, " No way, I'm not walking thru an outdoor garden center when it's 105 degrees out." In retrospect, I don't even think I thanked her for calling. All I wanted to do was go back to drinking my ice water (I was in my car --- parked --- doing a burger shop, not even wanting to eat, it was so hot!). So Ms/Miss/Mrs Scheduler, if that was you, I apologize for my abruptness!!!
While I am talking about the weather, I do wish that some of these shops could be modified time-wise, so we can shop in non-peak heat, perhaps early morning in Phoenix. Here our hottest time of the day is around 4-6 PM. And of course that is when one of my grocery shops needs to be done. It's brutal just walking in the parking lot, let alone trying to bring frozen foods home. I know we have to please the clients and they think they are having us shop during peak business hours, but that is not so much the case in the southwest!
