‘Tis the Season…
December 23, 2009
To be jolly.. Fa la la la la, la la la la…
Christmas is a joyous time of love and excitement. You get together with your family, relax, eat food and have a some time off.
WRONG
If you work in retail that is. I have only ever worked in retail, so I can’t say what it’s like for other jobs, but I know that during the Christmas season is the worst time of year to be working. Nearly everyone is in a bad mood and gets mad at you when you try to help them. They get impatient, frustrated and sometimes will even yell at you.
I work at a grocery store and I am obviously not the owner or a manger. I’m a teenager who works at the store and has no control over the ordering or shipping of items. Don’t take your anger out at me because in the end it’s just putting the both of us in a bad mood. I am sorry that I can’t help you in departments I know nothing about. I’m a bakery employee, I know where bakery stuff is.
All I can say to end this, is that I feel really sorry for people who also work in retail especially electronics and clothing because I know they get it the worst. And, please if you are out shopping during the holiday season… Don’t take your frustration out on employees (unless they’re really useless) we try the best we can.
Thank you, your friend who is hopefully on her last year in retail,
Disorderly.
Happy Holiday’s! :]
