New Comic Book Day

It's Wednesday! And Wednesdays at the Comic Zone are always fun. 

Wednesday is new comic book day, and often our busiest day of the week. 

For us who work here (especially Avery), new comic book day means getting up early, going to the UPS distrib

ution center in Tempe, picking up our boxes of new comic books, bringing them back, checking them against the order, then putting them on the new comics shelf, the contents of which had to have been transferred to the recent shelfs.  After that, the order is received in our point of sale system and the inventory is entered into stock. It's a big deal.

I have found that entering the receiving voucher on Sundays is a good idea, and then just putting it on hold until Wednesday. Check in has become much more streamlined since I started doing that.

But, you know, that's all the behind the scenes stuff on Wednesdays. 

The BEST part of Wednesdays is our customers. All of our regulars come in to pick up the newest issues, to visit, to see what's out, to empty their pull boxes. Wednesdays are always full of activity and fun. People hang out and talk about new storylines and we talk about upcoming events in the store.

I love New Comic Book Wednesday. :)
