crazy day at work... we were super busy...

hundreds of people rushing around trying to buy things that most likely are going to be returned by the receiver...

you can usually tell what items are going to be returned...

husbands left on their own to figure out what their wives want is a bad idea...

they bring up tacky baskets and calenders of college football heroes to the register... it's never a pretty site...

i guess what gets me more is that these wives WILL return these gifts... that's just mean... "hey honey... I'm happy that you got me this multi-colored African bread basket made in China... but i wont be happy with this... you must not really love me... but if you do you will get me something i really like... yes it's more money... but how could you compare love and money"

yeah... i bet that's exactly what they say...

people have already been returning stuff... a lady came back today with a tea pot that she bought for her mother... when she got home after she bought it she told her mom "i got your X-mas present today!!" her mom then barked out "i hope it's not a tea pot." (true story)...

working retail is stupid sometimes... but it's not that bad... i guess.. it's great for character study of the bourgeois... the rich are the cheapest people in the world... they always want a price break... they always feel like they are being cheated... and they never trust me... i don't know why... it must be the beard...

today John, my co-worker, had to dress up as Santa Claus... he told my boss over and over that he didn't want to be Santa... in the end he was Santa...



he was so bad because he looked as terrified as the children did...

for a moment i felt sorry for him... but in the end i just laughed... he is such a jerk and deserves to have pee smelling kids sitting on his lap! (true story)

ok...

i wish i could write more like David Sedaris... he's bitter but funny... i want to be like that... i just need to learn how to write better...
