Crazy unorganized lines of irritating
people swinging from every doorway of the mall into the cold winter air and
down the street of the parking lot. Customers are impatiently waiting for the store’s
doors to open up. Those who are unaware of the store’s open hours and are showing
unnecessary attitudes to the associates trying to get in and banging on the
glass. Going through the day with people screaming at you for the options the
registers want you to answer and writing reports why your were unable to just
stop ringing other customers and cater to their every want. Managers running
around you asking for credit applications and membership scores. Working as dinosaurs
age registers crash and staying completely patient as you wait for a manager to
approve it. And very few out of thousands of people you see that day say happy
holidays or season greetings.
To say a whole lot but not really say enough to identify where i currently earn my pay ill say I am not ready, no really, I have
yet to prepare my mind for the insanity of the holiday shoppers looking to play
let’s make a deal. It’s like a thought bubble of corruption comes into their
minds and says “ill rip the tags off of this 63 dollar dress and ill tell her
that the sign said it was $5.99, she will not go check there is a million
people behind me. She better not go check , shell just have to believe in what I
say.” Every time they come to my counter my thought bubble say “Ugh no
stupid that is not how this works!”
if I was to rewind my work life and
look at it as if it was a movie tonight I would probably laugh maybe even cry
because retail suck during the season where everyone is suppose to be happy and
thankful. The bad part is that the most irritating people have yet come to
shop. The most irritating people are known as the last minute uncivil shoppers.
They want the biggest discount and the best quality stuff in the ran down, ran
through, swap meet looking department stores. These are the people that will
hold up a line yell at the very top of their lungs to make you look bad as they
scream for your manager. Then when the manager gets there and doesn’t exchanged
their well worn items for the brand new hot name brand clothing on the shelve
now they get in riot mode as they demand the number for the corporation office
to complain about the services of your store.
Like I said I am not ready, but the
days getting closer to black Friday are certainly preparing me for the
stupidity of the holiday shopper. So let me get started, this morning I started
work during the early bird shift but it felt like I was there all damn day. I don’t
mind going into work but staying for eight hours dealing with people complain
about the littlest stain that they found on a 1 dollar bikini bottom that
should have been removed from store stock is absolutely ridiculous! If I have to
call my manager over just to tell you the same thing I just told you about a
year long return is just not using common scene. No the customer is not always
right some are just dumbass that need to learn how to add tax to their purchase.
Well good night I've have to go to
work kind of early tomorrow and I need all the rest I can get.
