Working in retail sucks during the holiday season...

[xEDIT409]

It get's so crazy, especially when I'm working at a very popular mall here... (Somerset for all you Michiganians)...

At the end of the day... I pretty much collapse. I also hate being on-call alot. That happens alot in the holiday season too. Oh well.... my paycheck is usually bigger too..

As a fellow Best Buy alum this man speaks the truth. On BF of 1999 I personally sold 50 eMachine computer packages...

Heh. I usually go home and deliver pizzas over Christmas break. Last year I was working on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, and the tips were crazy. One drunk guy gave me a 25 dollar tip because it was Christmas...

I deliver newspapers and the tips during the holidays are huge! I should clear upwards of $400-500

Yeah, I'm going back during thanksgiving break and Christmas for like a month and I will be working retail. I'm pretty I will have some 60 hour weeks in there and I don't mind because the money will be great. Thanksgiving I get to work in the food area which is new for me and then during Christmas I will be stocking toys and thats where I will get my hours at. They best not make me work black Friday morning, I'll be pissed, must go shopping!!!

When I worked in retail, the holiday season was my favorite time and it was a bit depressing when it was all over. I just loved the hectic pace.

Still love the hectic pace. The best days at work are when there are a hundred things going on at once.
