I can since I no longer (and hopefully never again) work retail
I hope to find a job that doesn't have anything to do with retail.
I can since I no longer (and hopefully never again) work retail
Bracing myself for another Black Friday. Have I mentioned how much I dislike working in retail, especially around the holidays? I normally like Christmas but I don't like working out in it during the holiday season. I feel like my job is turning me into Ebeneezer Scrooge.
Anyway, I'm not going to be trying to fight the crowds on Black Friday, even if I had that day off. I heard one story of a little old lady that pepper sprayed everyone in the electronics department because she was trying to get her hands on a video game for one of her grandchildren. Things like this are the reason why I wouldn't leave the house on Black Friday if I didn't have to work in it.
I mean, BOTW would be nice, but most likely will only get sale in one place, and will be gone in seconds, like the deal they had in target, but it does not stop me from wanting it on switch already
damn, that's nuts. Yeah, I feel your pain since I'm still stuck in retail myself. Though Staples isn't really all that busy on BF compared to walmart.
Yeah, I understand that. I use to work at a pet store and they weren't really all that busy on Black Friday either. Everyone is either buying for themselves or for someone in their family on Black Friday (sometimes both). I didn't really have to worry about a bunch of people lined up out the door on Black Friday when I worked at the pet store so it was okay. If I did work on BF then I usually got to work in the morning because I wasn't one of the ones that went shopping for deals on that day so it was okay for me to work the morning shift.
I was so exhausted by the time I got home from work, I didn't care about looking for any deals. I ended up working 12 hours and 15 minutes on Black Friday.
Yeah, that is harsh. I didn't even get a lunch that day which makes it even harder when you're not allowed to sit down for a minute or go to the restroom. Luckily, I'm normally done with Christmas shopping by the time Black Friday gets here anyway.
