Laundry jobs
The bag, the pieces, and the day it is ready.
A job is a customer, a count of pieces, and a promised day.
Each piece can carry a mark so the return matches the bag that came in.
States are received, in process, ready, and delivered.
A stain or a damage note is written when the bag is opened, not when the customer returns.
The bill is the pieces and the services. A payment closes the job.
The ready rack is a list. A customer at the counter can be found by name or mark.
A late job stays on the list past its promised day.
Hotel or bulk lots are jobs with many pieces. They do not break the same states.
A new counter person can receive a bag and mark it ready.
The close is bags in, bags ready, and bags still out.
