By 8:00 AM sharp, the front doors of the grocery store were unlocked. Within an hour, a few customers came in. There were some regulars who entered, shopping just after a run or their workout session.
They greeted the guard with a familiar nod and glanced curiously at the booth by the entrance.
However, even if there were some customers around, before someone could physically check out, a soft chime came from the overseers' monitors on the side.
Ding.
The system dashboard lit up.
[Order #0001 – 2x Fresh Milk, 1x Brown Bread, 1x Bananas, 1x 200g Oatmeal]
For a split second, no one moved. The overseers just stared at the screen as if they couldn't believe it.
Then one of them gasped.
"Manager! We got our first live order!"
The room came alive instantly. Joel, who had been standing at the side, rushed over to check the screen.
Joel's eyes widened. However, before he could dwell on it further, he tapped the guy's back.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go! Process it!"
