Yeah, smile. That’ll help…

I will not acknowledge what today is, because in retail, there are no holidays, really. Christmas and a half day on Thanksgiving, depending on where you work. To everyone else, enjoy the holiday, and if you do go shopping, please do not act like an ass. Seriously, be extra kind to your retail counterparts. They deserve a little more kindness on these days.

Moving on. If you have worked in retail for more than five minutes, you have heard a Shopper utter this unoriginal, painfully unfunny “joke”. It was not funny, I am certain, the first time it was told, and it remains that way to this day. But the Shopper, considering itself to be a hilarious individual, will continue to tell this joke, and others like it, for generations to come. Be prepared, comrades!
