-Le Sigh-
So my Carson's has finally gone into Liquidation and now the customers are being even more nasty.
Our store, due to us GOING OUT OF BUSINESS can no longer accept Coupons, accept returns, make price adjustments or do returns making all sales final and you can not return/exchange any item bought at my Carson's to another. The only thing our store is doing is fallowing Carson's hours of operation, accepting card payments and oddly enough opening new Carson's charge accounts in addition to selling every last piece of product in store.
The news of our store closing is not new, it was announced in August and has been all over the news around here. When the announcement came our incoming stock was greatly reduced and we told customers about this and why. About a month ago we stopped getting trucks delivering product and in the same breath trucks taking out product. It has been a MONTH now and people are still griping to me about how I don't have a Lancome product in stock. These are not new customers these are my regulars.
All of that said I have no freebies to give out, no goodies like before, I have zero dramming jars to make samples. So why do people feel it ok to get rude/nasty/down right bitter and evil when I tell them politely that I can't give a sample/give out freebies?
I am not a faceless cosmetics pusher, I'm not a mindless retail drone. This job is my bread and butter people, it's how I pay my bills dammit and you getting in my face and demanding to talk to a manager about not being able to do a return/exchange/lack of free shit just pisses me off.
LOOK THE FUCK AROUND YOU JACKASS! THERE ARE SIGNS EVERYWHERE SAYING WE ARE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AND ALL SALES ARE FINAL! READ YOU IGNORANT BASTARD!
Now I am grateful to have a job, do not get me wrong. I do not, however, appreciate my bosses giving me obscene hours to work tho. Case in point; Next Thursday and Friday I work 3:30- 12:15 AM but on Saturday I work 9:45AM-5pm. Uh...what? Why not just give me a damn cot to sleep on at work then? I'll get home at 1am and then still have to shower and eat something and get some sleep only to have to be back the next morning early. WTF? How is this legal?
All of the work BS aside I have been taking a hit mentally thanks to being sick, working, stressing about work and a bunch of other crap. Can I just have a few days off to sleep and decompress? It will make me a better worker and less likely to loose my shit and snap. I've been thinking abut the time I lived with Psy and for all the fights and crap we did have a good time. We always talked things out and she was really doing better. But now she's been talking of going into Hospital on her own free will after the semester is up, if she can make it that long. I really do think that if her first theripst had not left and I had found a job things would have been better. I want to go out there and see her before she goes in but thanks to my schedule I can't get out there. Just last night I was talking to her and I finally broke down and told her there are morning I wake up and wonder if I need to get her to group. I miss changing the birthdays on the chalk circles in the kitchen, I miss getting Soul Garden/New Hong Kong/Water on the Way and vegging out and watching Dramas, Variety Shows, MVs and the music shows for HOURS on end breaking only to potty or make a new pot of coffee. Above all, I do miss her friendship and having someone with identical tastes to fan girl over Kpop with.
I have no idea how this holiday is going to go but I hope it goes well. I could really use it.
Pray for me ya'll.
