Well another Thanksgiving full of football, turkey & crap I'd never eat any other day is over. Thursday Night my wife an I TRIED to map out some kinda plan of attack for Friday which is known as Black Friday( I worked in retail for years, believe me, we had a much different name for it). We got up at 3:20 a.m. and headed to our first store which was open at 4 a.m.
The parking lot was full and the line to get in the store was un-godly! They were only going to let people in through one set of doors and there had to be over 300 people wanting to get in. I got pissed and said to hell with this, we'll come back later ( and we did). On to our next store which was much smoother. Then at Target, my wife about got into a fight with some dumb lady who cut in front of while waiting to check-out. Now the line was clear to the back of the store and we were pretty far back. This goofy lady's excuse was she wasn't going to go back there!! GRRR!! I do remember one year I worked at Kohl's, I had a line waiting to be checked out, alright fine. Well some jackass decided he was to be before all those who waited and jumped in front of the lady who was next. Slapped a calculator and a $100 bill on the counter and said "I want this and I'm in a hurry!". I was like you know all of these people have been waiting before you, you need to get in the back of the line. He yelled a wonderful name at me and said no. I took his $100 bill and crumpled it in his face and took the calculater and tossed it and told him "back of the line!" His face was so red he just boiled over. he threatened to get the manager. I told him to please do and when were both escorted out of the store, I would kick his ass. Then the cool thing was all those people who were waiting cheered me and scared him off! Then one year when I worked at Shop-Ko, I helped the cashier by bagging merchandise. Well we had one lady who was just having a bad day and just gave the cashier Rena, who I was helping, a real bad time for no reason at all. I tried to defuse it but to no avail. This stupid lady had Rena in tears and the manager had to get her off the register for awhile to calm her down. But in a bit of poetic justice. The next day we were in line at Wal-Mart, in line was this same lady was giving the cashier a hard time. The cashier was about to burst into tears until I stepped in and said "Don't worry about her, she was mean to us yesterday at Shop-Ko". She looked at me and just froze and never said a damned word the rest of the time! I swear this is my last go round doing this crap, but I get sucked back into it anyway. The good news was we pretty much finished up our shopping in that one day.
