Another Black Friday Bites the Dust

Thank fucking God....

I have never been so exhausted, so sore, and so fed up with other people in my entire life.

Swear to God!!

The closer it gets to Christmas, the crankier the customers get. People are already bullying us retail workers around, getting bosses involved when they don't get their way and scamming on the newbies who may not necessarily know the in's and out's of coupons to get free product.

Here's the thing folks....

It's the retail workers who pay for the course of your actions.

That newbie you tricked into letting you incorrectly utilize your coupon will hear later from her boss, in a not so nice manner, that she has fucked up. Newbies are already on a 90 day probation.... Do you really feel good about yourself knowing you may have possibly cost a single mom her job because you scammed her into letting you get a free candle?

How about the mom who is struggling to make ends meet and knows the in's and out's of coupons and explained to you in great detail how you could use your coupon? You didn't like the fact that she wouldn't give you your way so you yelled, made a big scene, and got the manager involved so you COULD get your way.... That mom spends the rest of her day feeling like shit so you get get your additional 20% off your purchase even though the coupon had expired a week before. Does it make you feel good at the end of the day knowing you deflated that woman's self image so you could safe an additional $4.30?

Just, be kind, people. We are all out there in this world, doing our best. We make mistakes, it's not done on purpose. We want to be able to make your day, we honestly do. Everyone was a newbie at some point, keep this in mind.

I feel as though people have forgotten The Golden Rule, these days.

Do unto others as you would have done unto you.

 I am so glad I do not work retail ... I would rather spend my whole shift wiping shit off peoples asses than deal with shitty customers!!!

I've been wondering a lot, lately, if I want to continue on with the retail thing. My current job actually pays me well, which is what has kept me here, but it's times like these that make me consider leaving.

 Stores are going to be hell for the next month.

The closer it gets to Christmas, the shittier people get. They're all broke and looking for something for nothing.

 It's that time of year, unfortunately . . . when the nasty people get nastiER . . . & like you, I can't fathom how someone can cheat a retailer with a clear conscience . . . I'm old skool (actually, just old) . . . but was brought up differently . . . but take heart . . . only 4 more weeks of the rude, nasty & obnoxious to be at the top of their game!

Hugs if ya want 'em

It bothers me most that it's the workers who really can't do anything about the rules who get the brunt of the abuse, both from the customers and from their employers. Damn ed if you do, damn ed if you dont.

 The golden rule definitely applies here. People just want to get the most out of others that they can. Thank goodness I no longer have to deal with it.
