lol, teddy...it's true!!!

except for the profits, the whole season is terrible. hours are insane. i worked so much one year i actually passed out right in the middle of the store from exhaustion and illness (god forbid you called off for a single day during the month between black friday and x-mas eve) stock flies off the shelves and can't get replaced fast enough. the store was a disaster and the gm doesn't care why, just that your tee's aren't folded perfectly and the jean stacks are missing sizes. shoppers are grumpy. temporary help is unreliable. and it culminates in an all-night mark-down of merchandise on christmas eve.

:o
sorry, done now.

You couldn't pay me enough to venture out on such a day of shopping......

I worked retail years ago and that was enough for me. :)

I am glad that I have sworn off shopping....and Christmas...






































I gave it up for Lent...and realized I liked it. :D

Several years ago I worked in a mall food court. It was my experience that a lot of hype was given to Black Friday and while it was REALLY fucking busy, there were busier days between then and Christmas.

Myself? I work a lot better under pressure, so I wait until the 23rd to start shopping. :p
(I'd wait 'til the 24th, but a lot of stores close early that day.)

I'd believe that black friday isn't the busiest day for the average mall. Most mall based stores don't have deal buster early sales on black friday. It tends to be the department, discount, and electronics stores.

/me gets in line at Best Buys right now :D

Hmmmph.

I can't believe you would insinuate that I, Aqua, would ever work in an "average" mall. [/snooty]
































































:p

better bring a cup, lil. ya know, cause you're gonna hafta pee eventually . :p

:yikes: That's the day each year that confirms I am alien.

are you fiddling with uranus while everyone else shops? :p:D:D

Some how thank the Lord I managed to not have to go in that day till 4pm but to kick my butt in return i have to stay till 10 and clean up. I hate shoes!!!!

Best Line Ever /me bows

/me sneaks a peek at cleavage. ;)
:x:

I tried it last year for the first time in my adult/on my own life (cause I wasn't hung-over...hmmmmmm!) and I found I liked it. I liked not being hung-over (bonus) and I found I liked doing the bulk of my shopping with maniacs. Who knew????? Who'da thunk Mom didn't ruin maniacal shopping for me! She was a basement bargain bra shopper for all of my growing life! Oh...that's a whole other story! Sorry...lol!

YAY Black Friday!

I hate shopping. I don't like all of the people and finding that one bargain just isn't worth it to me to have to deal with all of the crowds the day after Thanksgiving. That being said, I do like going the day/week after Christmas! Go figure! I like the markdowns and clearance items - not as much hustle/bustle either.. :D
