Oh yes it's December and that means Christmas is coming and normally sane people become crazy and rude. Working in retail with an events 20% off day proves this. At least this time no one sneezed in my face!
Instead one of our two tills decides to kill itself and cant be fixed for three days - cheers retail support! Pissed of customers forced to queue even though we offer free drinks (juice,wine,coffee and tea), biscuits, minced pies and chocolates. Throwing all your items on the floor and screaming madam will not make us serve you first.
"This wool scarf is not the correct wool and too thick"
"These jeans are not demin enough"
"I want this bag but it's not the correct brown"
Are not even the excuses for returns but people trying to buy items, unsure what they expect me to do magic things out of thin air? lol
We event have people asking me for items that we do not stock yet they are certain I am lying as they saw it only the other day. Sometimes they ask for items we stocked back in the summer or even last year!
Retail staff can get a lot of flack sometimes if an item runs out or the right size is not able to order. I can sympathise but my niggle is Body Shop.
Now I didn't pull a wobbly I said thank you and left but wow their product buyers really underestimated buying items once again. Last year was the Glazed Apple Sparkler Spray this year seems to be Frosted Plum Shimmer Mist nation wide out of stock (told by two shops) and that was only thursday - 3 days into December and an entire item is gone unless I would like to buy a gift box set.
So I am now going to have to think of something else for Mum as she asked for it (should of got it when she did).
Christmas shopping I think I have almost got it done and sorted.
Thursday was Chris' birthday so he kinda got spoilt by all the presents :) Hopefully he will like his Christmas ones just as much.
Still waiting for the holiday rota whcih i guess the delay is because they are scared of peoples reactions. I have offered to do Christmas Eve, New Years Eve and Day as long as I can have Boxing Day off and the 27th,
I worked Boxing Day last year (and I was sarcastic to all the customers returning stuff, how to be ungrateful not even 24 hours has passed!). I hate that Boxing Day is not given the status it used to have as an extra holiday and would love to start up a boycout campagin but the American chains start their sales now on that day instead of after new year D:
