Thank you for the reminder that lines might be longer than usual at the checkout counters, since the first of the month is always the first day of most seasonal rentals, AND this is the season that seasonal rentals are considered seasonal rentals.

Combine "first of the month" with "season for seasonal rentals" and "a Friday, which is typically the start of long weekends for people who move but are still working for a living, and take a day off on Fridays so they can have a three-day-weekend to move" and you'll likely see more folks at the checkout stand than usual.

Still probably not much of a big deal but it's certainly something to bear in mind, just in case you go to the supermarket and see longer lines and wonder why.
