Retail Hell #72
Dec. 21st, 2007 12:53 pmOkay, so your holiday shopping is done or almost done. Or you’re in a rat’s nest panic and are girding your sanity and composure for one more trip to the mall. And you’re going to run into some surly salespeople and think “God, these people suck, tits on a bull would be more useful.”
Now, granted, a lot of people are in the retail trade because, well, they had no choice. It was easy to get into, the hours fit, they needed the money, etc. And in some cases, they’re not bad people, but suffer from not having been trained, having a bad manager, having a bad hair day.
No wait. ( When you work in retail during the holiday season, EVERY day is a bad hair day. )
