Anyone working retail during the "Holiday rush" deserves your compassion. They won't be humming along to the Chirstmas music that is blasted into their ears everyday of December (and part of November); they may not even smile or say hello- but remember the consumer must remain faceless to the holiday retail worker.
Otherwise, they will be so pissed off with cell phone users, mothers with unruly children, older women who want to get a deal on the chipped merch, the list continues.
I tried to be nice yesterday to most people, and then I realized that for my own well being, I should just put on my protective cape (similar to the outfit I am wearing in my new userpic) and get through the 7 days before Christmas.
