aaahhhh yes the annual tradition of BLACK FRIDAY .4 those of u that r not familiar with this tradition .it turns seeming normal people into arseholes & arseholes into a thing that even the Taliban would fear.{not exaggerating} they wait outside 4 the door 2 open & sometimes break them when they do get in ,fist fights over toys & other things [not exaggerating] the movie JINGLE ALL THE WAY is accurate but it is worse in real life

I used to work retail. That's enough to kill anyone's Christmas spirit. I remember having to work late Halloween night to get all the Christmas decorations up. Anyone else with Christmas retail experience?

The day after Thanksgiving in a retail store is the worst. I remember having to get there at 5:00 am, and there were already 60 people lined up outside the door. People are nuts.
I also worked at a tree farm. I now own a fake Christmas tree lol.

Anyone else with Christmas retail experience? Oh Yes... I worked as a retail Mnaager in Pigeon Forge, TN (a tourist town) for 6 years. HATED IT! Over 11 million visit our fair town each year and the ALL o the the outlet malls. I will never work retail again. |

I was an assistant dept. manager at a Best Buy next to the one of the busiest malls in the city for a while. Did a couple years hard time in Video, then in Home/Car Audio.
Customer: I want one of these. (pointing at display)
Lamron: I'm sorry, sir, we're out of stock. (looking at empty spot below display)
Customer: Can you look in the back? (pointing at outside wall of building.)
Lamron: There is no "back". All of our stock is out here. I can check to see when they're due, or check to see if one of our other stores has it in stock.
Customer: I need this for my daughter.
Lamron: (after checking) Its a popular item, all the other stores in the area are out, and we're not due for another shipment until a week after Xmas.
Customer: But I need this for my daughter.
Lamron: I'm sorry, sir.
Customer: I have to have this for my daughter. What are you going to do about it?
Lamron: I've already done everything that can be done. Its not available anywhere and won't be soon.
Customer: But I need this for my daughter.
Lamron: umm.. Ok.....
Customer: Let me talk to the manager.
Lamron: He doesn't have any either.
Customer: Let me talk to the manager.
Lamron: OK (the store's so busy it takes 20 minutes to get the manager)
Manager: How can I help you, sir?
Customer: I want a XXXXX
Manager: (turns to me) Lamron, do we have any of these?
Lamron: No.
Manager: (turns back to customer) We're out of stock.
Customer: I'm going to call your corporate office!!
Manager: They don't have any either.
-------------------------------------
And around and around we go, with customer after customer, all day long. People truly think that if they demand something, it will magically appear out of nowhere! Or if they could just convice me of how much they really wanted it, I would relent and pull out the secret stash I had of the items they wanted.
