Oh I am sooo glad that Black Friday is OVER!! Yes, working in retail, I had to be there, up before the sun even thinks about coming out, and it's freezing outside! However I'm not alone in my journey...there are people that actually get out there at that time because they WANT to!! Crazy in my opinion. I like my sleep, plain and simple. Yes, you can get great deals, but most everything I ever want will still be there when I get off work :) Here are just a few stories of the day from where I work:
One lady went thru a checklane with 6 yes 6 carts full of stuff...her total you might ask? Almost 25oo dollars! And then the other notible mention, and if you are squimish you may want to stop reading right now. A lady in line, had a 6 pack of gaterade, and chugged 3 of them all in a row...no one is quite certain why she did this. We aren't talking the little ones, these were at least the 20oz ones. Well I think we all know what happens when you drink too much way to fast right? Yep you guessed it, she spewed ALLLLLL over the place. Not even asking for a bag, or trashcan or not even stepping out of line and leaning over. She just spewed. All over herself, all over everyone else, merchandise, EVERYWHERE! She not only did this once, but TWICE!!!! So glad I wasn't on the clean up crew for that day! I asked one of the other girls I work with if it was because she didn't want to have to leave her stuff and get out of line to make it to the bathroom, and here is the kicker: She wasn't by herself! She had someone else with her in line that was actually buying the stuff!!!! And, that is why I don't like Black Friday. It kinda makes people crazy and loose sight of all reason. Ok, my rant is over LOL
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We had a quiet one here, and didn't even get to eat turkey. That is tonight. Ryan worked the 3-11 shift at work insted of the graveyard shift so that I could be at work the next day at 4:45am. After that shift I wasn't in the mood to try and do a Thanksgiving dinner, so tonight it is. Better late then never right? :)
I think that about sums up what has been going on, just busy, busy time of year for all of us! Hugs to all!
