Oh yes, that particular, cruel fate. It gives me feels.
And when I say feels, I mean feels. Like, feels make you wanna scream and shout and flail it all about. Like, y’all gonna make me lose my mind up in (up in here) feels. You might understand the holidays feels. I’m certain you do.
Let’s pour one out for the holidays feels. Merry something or another…

I just started a retail job back in August, so this is my first retail Christmas. And holy fucking jeezeballs. It’ll be awesome when it’s over.
I’m on retail holiday season #21. Which probably means I’m a glutton for punishment.
Retail sucks so badly. Just got off doing 9 days in a row. Ugh
I’ve worked retail during the holidays and I am hoping all of you have pleasant customers and manageable lines for the rest of the shopping season.
*knocks every kind of wood within reach* Customers have been, surprisingly, pretty good. Only a few crankypants, and I get them all year. For the most part, people have been pretty chill, which is a nice change of pace.
I had been having a pretty easy retail season so far. Worryingly so. Today, the tides changed. It was NONSTOP and I kind of want to pass out for a year. But I can’t because I have to go back and do it again tomorrow and every day until Christmas Eve.
Hugs from one retail worker to another. Love you Piles!
Holiday in retail is hell. I’m counting all my blessings this year that my new job is much less soul-sucking than my previous. It’s making the holidays much more tolerable.
