Making a list & checking it twice

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

But it doesn’t matter how many times I check it if people keep adding stuff!!!

Note to stores: Please don’t have the surly, STUPID people working during the Xmas holidays. Really, I’d rather wait a little longer in line to have a checker who actually spoke to me rather than grunting at the little screen that shows my total.

And why don’t people understand that working in retail is CUSTOMER SERVICE. It’s not my job to do things for you. I’m not getting paid anything, in fact I’m paying you.

Still, it’s still not quite last minute enough that most of the customers are cranky (or maybe it’s the fact that I’m going during the day, I bet people shopping after work are much more cranky). I’ve had several nice conversations with people in the stores, which always makes for a fun shopping experience.

Ah yes, the crazies are out.

Anyway, it’s back to the store for me again today - I did cross off everything yesterday but then stuff got added. And I started cutting up my fudge.

I’ll have to put it on the scale to see just how much fudge I really made.

How’s everybody else? Is your house ready for Santa?
