Be Nice To Us Retailers This Holiday Season

Just because we are doing our job, does not mean you can be rude to us while you shop.

Working retail can be fun especially when you are working with people you like and with people who you are friends with. It can also be bore when you it is super slow and there are no customers in the store.Then there are other times when it can be horrendous because of one customer or multiple customers. Working during the holidays can be a little bit of fun and horrendous.

We as retail workers want to help you in any way that we can, whether it be to help you find a certain size or certain type of clothing, but please do not get mad at us if we tell you no, or tell you we do not have the certain item in store or if an item in nonrefundable. The holiday season is here and with that comes those customers who are testy and those who get mad when we do not have certain things in the store, or we tell them something they do not like. Trust me, I wish it was easy and we had what you were looking for, but we don't.

People this time of year buy gifts for people, making sure things fit right for either that party they are going to or that special occasion they planned for their significant other. I know sometimes we procrastinate on that last minute shopping, but it does not give you the right to get angry with us when we are doing all that we can to help you and if we say no, well take it and don't argue.

Read the fine print on the signs that have the sales on them, make sure you know what you have to do in order to get the sale. If the sign says you have to spend 35 dollars to get the 30% off, then make sure you have 35 dollars worth of items. We do not make the prices of the items and we can't change that, no matter how many times you ask for my manager, they will tell you exactly what I told you. I know that it is hard to hear, but it is not our fault you did your holiday shopping last minute. If you tell us that you are never going to shop at our store ever again, well bye! So, please as you are doing your holiday shopping this season, to be nice to us retailers. We are just doing our job and want to help you in anyway we can.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
