We used the big yellow shelves as hiding places. My brother, cousin, and I would all run around the store, ensuring we hid ourselves behind the shelves as best we could. Hide-and-seek was our favorite game to play out front despite the fact that there were hardly any hiding spots, and the customers who were shopping would always be in our way. Unfortunately, the game got banned after my brother rammed into a little old lady who was trying to reach a KJV Bible on the top shelf. Eventually, we learned that we could still play the game as long as there were no customers and my mom was not watching. We would listen for the door to ring, waiting for the customers to leave, hoping no one would come in while we were playing. Years passed, and suddenly, we hoped for the opposite, praying customers would come in. My brother, who was much younger than us, would still beg to play, and we had to explain to him that we could not play hide-and-seek if there was no store to play hide-and-seek in.
