Shopping for the holidays is all fun and games until you have to work at one of the most popular holiday stores. To the shoppers: please be patient, our mind is on vacation just like yours. To the retail workers: I feel your pain, we're in this together. Here's our average day.
1. I can't be here.
2. What do you mean we are open later than usual!?
3. Oh and we open earlier than normal... FANTASTIC.
4. Now I really can't be here.
5. At least I'm getting holiday pay.
6. Wait is holiday pay even a thing!?
7. Silly me, it's only holiday pay on Christmas Eve and Christmas!!!
8. Maybe it'll be a quiet day.
9. Just kidding everyone is going to come at the same time, coincidentally during my shift.
10. Because Santa hates me.
11. Anddddddd there's everyone.
12. Please don't ask me where something is.
13. Just act like I don't exist.
14. Yes, I do know what is on sale. Check out the giant signs that say SALE and you will too.
15. Okay, chill out, you still have 4 hours to go.
16. I wonder how much Netflix I could watch in those 4 hours.
17. Instead I'll just fold these tables for the 100th time.
18. Seriously I will smack whoever messes up my perfectly folded shirts next.
19. Maybe if I'm lucky this table will stay folded for an hour this time.
20. LOL you're really going to mess up my table while I'm standing right here.
21. Of course you are, because you're in a rush.
22. Because no one can come shopping and not be in a rush.
23. Why did you bring your kid.
24. God why did you bring your kid.
25. Why is this kid staring at me.
26. I'm literally just folding shirts stop looking at me.
27. Please don't cry and please stop looking at me.
28. Okay thank you for walking away with your child ma'am.
29. I'm over folding shirts.
30. Plus my table looks great because I'm a star employee.
31. What do you mean you need back-up on register?
32. There is literally 5 people on register, why do you need me too?
33. WOOOOOOW. That's why.
34. I wasn't aware our store could hold this many people.
35. Cool I can ring people up, easy peasy.
36. You are about to hate me your total is about to be so much.
37. No, I do not know why everything costs so much, I don't make the prices.
38. No, I can not give you my discount and why would I? I don't even know you.
39. Plus, the attitude has got to go.
40. Yeah have a great holiday!!! blah blah blah.
41. Wow I'm thirsty.
42. And my lips are chapped.
43. I know you're going to say no about signing up for our card but...
44. And you didn't even let me finish my sentence.
45. YOUR LOSS THEN JUST TRYING TO SAVE YOU MONEY.
46. I hate people.
47. Why are there so many people.
48. When can I take my lunch?
49. Not for another hour omg I'm going to wither away.
50. No, sadly, I don't get holiday pay.
51. And even more sad I can't accept a tip from you.
52. But wow you just made my day.
53. Have an awesome holiday!!! I like you!
54. Just keep thinking about the nice lady that tried to tip you 5 minutes ago.
