Working at Macy's for Christmas

[RottenWillow]

You people are confusing me with my parents. I have a regular house and only make 47k a year.



And last night was busy as hell! Damn. It's been getting like twice as busy as each preceding night all this week. I bet tonight is gonna be full on loco. I wonder if at 7pm we're supposed to just run them all out b/c you know there will be people still trying to shop and people standing in line at the registers.

It was never that busy on Christmas Eve the years I worked retail. I do remember a funny exchange on that day my first year in retail.

Guy: do you have modems?

Me: yes sir *takes him to modems*

Guy: what these aren't modems, can you get somebody over here that knows what they're talking about?

Me: I can assure you these are modems for your cable service.

Guy: forget it!

I was trying to figure out what he was looking for. A few minutes later, he comes up to me with an ethernet/cat5 cable.

Guy: see, this is a modem. You need to learn your products!

Me: oh, I'm sorry sir, my mistake.

Mind you, I was the computer tech guy there. Lol.

I worked electronics retail for three holiday seasons. Quit the day before thanksgiving this year. Simply wasn't going to do that another year. Working in retail is the primary reason I hate human beings.

I work in a bar and I hate them all too, even though I'm not in a customer service position where I have to actually interact with customers. I'd just as soon kill them all at closing time, once we can't take any more money from them what good are they?

Me too

People would stay 45 minutes after closing at Roosevelt Field Mall. Considering we hoped to get out at 3am, that extra 45 minutes could push it close to 4am. Black Friday I have worked through to the next day.
