I hadn't expected much to have changed at work after the fire. A fresh coat of paint, some new tiles, probably a handful of replacement shelves...Honestly I would have expected the company to go as cheap as possible in order to reopen the store as quickly as possible and get back into creating income from our location.
Yet, walking through the doors that opened quietly with a soft whoosh and no grumbling rattle...I couldn't stop myself from gapping in shock, coming to a complete standstill just inside.
This place...I couldn't even word it right. The main thought coming to my mind was...New. It was all New. Brand new sleek registers with conveyor belts, a completely new design set up for the aisles, and the cages....my entire department had been remodeled. A new wall of fishtanks with hundreds of new varieties of fish met my eyes like a wall of candy in a sweets shop. Even the cages for the other animals in the store had been updated. Giving the whole place a very modern, if not futuristic look.
"Wow." The word lift my lips. Just. Wow.
-Inspiration from talking to an old coworker about a new store that is opening this weekend. (No fire was involved.)
