A Letter To Customers This Holiday Season

In This Article:

Dear Shoppers,

As the holiday season approaches, you will soon be shopping everywhere and anywhere, looking for the perfect gifts for family, a warm winter coat, and home décor to get into the holiday spirit. While employees try to make sure your shopping experience is the best, please know we are also human and like to not be stuck at work all day. So please be cautious about the following:

1. Throwing Clothes Over The Racks

It is okay to put the size L coat in the size S section, but do not throw it on the rack along with 7 other jackets and leave the hangers on the floor. I cannot tell if you're throwing them over the rack to practice your baseball pitch or if it is hard to use the hanger again.

2. Throwing Clothes On The Floor

I still do not get how it is possible to walk away after letting 10 shirts fall on to the ground all at once, and you should know that I see you kicking the clothes under the rack trying to "hide" the mess.

3. Leaving the Fitting Room a Mess

Just do not leave the clothes on the floor, that is all.

4. Ripping Open a Box and Putting the Contents Somewhere Else

I know everything looks like it is wrapped like a Christmas present, but it is not meant to be ripped like one. I know we are all curious as to what is inside, but please do not rip the packages open and then throw the product to the side, leaving only an empty box. I cry a little inside.

5. Getting Mad When There Are No Coupons 

Believe me sis, if I had a coupon to offer you, I would offer it! We want you to save! But we cannot force a 40% off coupon to magically appear!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
