Thanksgiving Eve
Nov. 21st, 2007 09:43 pmAhhh, The night before Thanksgiving. The last night I have before the end of any semi-normal schedule (as normal as a schedule can get when you work retail). I love thanksgiving, but not the days following it. Long hours, asshole customers, flocks of people who have no clue what the hell they want. Yet, I know, as it is with every year, there will be some genuine nice people who I will help and make their, and mine, holidays a little better. Yeah, that's a bit sappy, but it's true. Those are the customers I wait for, the ones that give me a reason to stay in retail. Their thanks are real and it leaves you feeling accomplished, for about 5 seconds as you go to help the next person.
