So it’s the busiest Shopping Day of the Year and I’m having a bad flashback to the days working in retail. Working retail ranks up there as one of the worst jobs ever. Not only do you work every weekend (since that’s when most people shop) but you have to put up with tons of other crap and hardly take home a paycheck.

There were days when it could be fun and you could meet some nice people out there shopping…but for the most part, shoppers can be NASTY… cranky… downright bitchy [again, I'm not talking about everyone]. It was as if the customer thought the salesperson was out to screw them over.

I know most of us realize that these salespeople only get paid if a sale is made but there are people out there who don’t know this. This is just something to keep in mind when making a salesman run around and work his ass off for you for an hour only not to purchase anything. Sure, you can say… “well his service was bad so I didn’t want to buy from him or her” …GET A NEW SALESPERSON. One last thing most people do not realize about salespeople who work on commission is…when you return something, it gets taken off their next paycheck [not all stores work like this, but it doesn't hurt to ask when shopping].

The customer is NOT always right…but then again, neither is the blogger

Bleh! Ok…must stop having these bad flashbacks to retail days.

But someone please tell me why stores open up at 5am today???!?!?! That’s so wrong on many levels.

So…if you’re reading this on my website rather than an RSS feed, you’ll notice the new theme…I got bored with the other and needed a change…hope you like
