Subject: About this weekend’s equipment return
---
Hi Alex,

Just wanted to give you a quick heads-up about returning the gear this weekend, since things will run a bit differently than usual.

Normally, returns are fine anytime before Sunday evening, but this Saturday we’ll be operating with a reduced front-desk team due to staff scheduling constraints. As a result, items brought in after 4:00 p.m. may not be checked in right away. Instead, they’ll likely be placed in our secured storage area until full processing resumes.

If your schedule is tight, you might want to stop by earlier in the day to avoid delays. Alternatively, feel free to let us know in advance if you expect to arrive later, and we can make a note in our system to flag the return. Anything held in storage over the weekend will be handled first thing Monday morning, so there’s no risk of it being overlooked.

Let me know if you need flexibility on timing, and we’ll see what we can do.

Best,
Joe
