Default Longest wait for customer to come in

What is the longest wait you had for a customer to come into the salon and what did you do until then?

Did you clean the crap out of the salon.

Did you do paperwork.

Did you stare out the window.

Did you play on the computer.

Did you wish you never came in.

Sometimes a couple hours on a Saturday morning if no spray tans are booked. Why? Been a long, lonely day?

i find that with the weather being crappy all summer, that August has been a good month so far.

God bless the wrath of mother nature.

I think tanning salons are the only ones that pray for bad weather in the summer.

I think mine was 4 hours. I cleaned and budgeted out my money. Reviewed the cameras and fired an employee. Ummm, watched TV and played a lot of computer games basically!
