Obsessed with 'Feel Again' -One Republic.♥ ..anyways that's not what I came here to talk about.. oh ho nooo..... So here I am, finally able to sit down without any urgency waiting for me around the corner, well not yet at least.. so let me take advantage of this bliss:) AAAH the Holidays... Every year starting around Thanksgiving... on a particular day a group of psychopaths thought up called BLACK FRIDAY, department stores mark their merchandise down to lower prices..sounds nice right? yea it does. sooo would someone tell me where and why that implies VIOLENCE? and then the wonderful season of Christmas.... whew. So If you didn't already know I work in retail.. and ive worked during the holidays of coarse... please bear with me... I truly don't get it... I don't understand how people can be so.. soo... sooo... nasty :( like as if I kidnapped their children and sold them to the Columbian mafia.... I mean really? how are you going to yell in my face because the bag you picked up which clearly visibly says 25.99 is not on sale for 5.99.... IT SAYS IT ON THE PRICE TAG SMART ONE. (originally I had put moron instead of smart one, but changed it due to the fact that I thought i'd be calm in the first part of this little rant) oh and of coarse you have the lovely scam artists as I like to call them.... ha ha.. wow I had to take a little second to chuckle to myself. but im back... where was I? oh yes the scammers... the ones that come in with 500 coupons and want to separate their transactions into hmm...500 different transactions so they can get a better deal and use all their lovely coupons... & then after that hour long ordeal.. as the other vicious animals behind them are getting more and more antsy and pissed off.....they quietly lean in to the register as if to tell me a secret, with that little ex-con smirk slapped on their face as they whisper.... 'why dontcha you take an extra 50$ of huh? for Christmas' .....your kidding me yes? DO I need to go on with this story? like really?! SLAP yourself.... For you for me for HUMANITY...no really go do it now... ill wait.
and the best part is when you tell them no... and you get to see a 50 year old grown adult break down like a 3 year old... and complain about customer service issues..... hate to break it to you babe but... I come into work and speak to each and every person and smile with more chipper than Barbie and all her BEACH PALS. soooo there is nothing wrong with the customer service, FOR DARN sure. ahh... I actually quite like working retail... I like working with people and helping out and explaining things to them believe it or not, as annoying as it is... I always seem to find a good laugh out of it in the end...but there is one particular day... which involved one particular women.... and the story goes like this... I was standing in the front of the store greeting the incomers explaining the sales answering questions inviting shoppers to check out the new season items.. and in she comes.... Black trenchcoat white hair, little circle specs.. and a huge brown faded leather bag.. (I tell no lies) I see her from across the room and I yell out a greeting and smile and start to talk.... and this woman lifts up her hand to her mouth as If to silence me.. soo I do.... and I kinda stand there waiting for what she was silencing me for.. but I got no response soo I started to speak again.. she then whips her head around and scowls at me and says 'SILENCE' .......i literally said 'Ok' so i brush it off.. in my head i was laughing i wont lie... i was just like WEEEEIRDOOO no big deal...so i go on with my business.... putting things away.... and i feel a slap on my back... not a tap..no a slap....so im thinking oh its one of my co workers so i go to jump up from what i was doing with kind of a playfulness in me... and to my surprise its... olga... lets just call her olga since i don't know her name but it fits... So theres Olga.. shes standing there just staring at me.... so i happily said 'Hey there, are you finding everthing ok?' and do you know what she says???? 'I'm utterly offended by you and your stores sense of responsibility'? me: um Pardon me? (in my head im like WHAAAAAAT THE HECCCCK DID YOU JUST SAY?! SO SHE REPEATS HERSELF......as if i didn't hear her.... so like an idiot i was like 'I don't understand..' ...she started speaking Spanish.
... I literally walked away. I think she thought Halloween is in December Silly lady.
