I kept thinking that christmas was dead...
Yes, due to the unrelenting savagry of the extremely late christmas shoppers (i'll explain in a bit) and the bargain hunters on christmas night i was wondering what the world was coming to. To explain the extremely late shoppers, those who wait until every possible store except walgreens (open 24/7/365...always open, forever and eternity) is closed to do your christmas shopping there has got to be something the fuck wrong with you. This means that it was after 6pm on christmas eve to do shooping for the very next morning, and oh yes it was busy. See on a normal work night at walgreens, or the wall, one would have started facing/zoning (making sure all the product is facing forward, labels presented and at the end of the shelf/peg hook to make it seem as thought the spot is filled) as soon as you get the at 9:30pm would be off the register and going by around 10:30pm-11pm with a few customers here and there to check out til around 1am or 2am. I can usually get the front half of the store faced by 12:30 and then take a break...but not this night, oh no. This night was bad. I had extra help til 11pm (normally 3rd shifters are the only non manager, non pharmasist in the store after between 9pm and 10pm, depends) and still both us had 30ft lines, people getting toys and gifts and stocking stuffers and wrap and so on. After my help left at 11pm, i still had lines like that all the way until 2am...first half of facing was a nightmare, i didnt get done until almost 5am...the manager shittily (yes shittily) face the back half, even if you were blind you'd still have saw how bad it was. And people still came in at 5am for gift wrap...savages. My christmas shopping was done between the being of December and mid-December, because jessy didn't know what he wanted. So working christmas eve blew. Then the horror that was christmas was to follow. SAVINGS, SAVINGS, SAVINGS (which in non-psycho terms that means cheap and by cheap i mean cheap people and by cheap people i mean up tight, greedy, old people assholes). Yeah so this after christmas sale thing started at 12am December 26 and needless to say the store was packed. Tasha in her infinite beauty and total awesomeness faced the front half of the store for me (thank you baby i love you so much :) ) and i was half way across fixing the few things that customers had did after she faced it. Then the area was full with tight asses buying up all teh christmas shit at 50% off, and they weren't araid to remind you every other second that if it wasnt half off they didnt want it. So I have about 20-25 old bastards fucking everything up, while complaining, while being fuckers, while being big fuckers. So I have this massive line of complaining pieces of shit. Since the items arent ringing 50% off i told them that the computer doesnt actually kick in the new info until about 3am. And i get a hail of it didnt do that last year, blah blah last year, we do this every year, last year i got ANYTHING i wanted for half off, blah, blah bullshit. After all the mayhem, Im still thankful for the great time I had when I wasnt at work. The awesome time I spend with Tasha and her family. I got some awesome gifts from her, got some awesome gifts from her mom, and also a couple other members of her family. But the greatest gift I got this christmas was being with Tasha, shes such an amazing person and I love her with every bit of my being. I love you baby and merry christmas.
