This is another one of those long rants that I like to spout randomly, so you are warned
So first off, most of you know I work at a video game store called Game Crazy and that my boss is a jerk. For those of you that don't, now you know!
I have grown really tired of working retail, it's a lot of unnecessary stress, at least in sales. This week I worked Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. That's Christmas Eve, Christmas, and the day after Christmas too (return day, dun dun dun) So on Sunday I'm working when I get a call from my boss saying "I'm going to be sick all week *hangs up*"
So the rest of us are furious because our boss just called out "sick" for the busiest week of the year so he can catch a flight to Chicago to be with his family. He scheduled everyone to cover his shifts ahead of time, which we found out later. You know, he's the only one with a family. So any who...
The entire week I get people yelling at me because I'm sold out of Wii's...you know, cause it's my fault they waited 2 days before Christmas to get their gifts. I've had people in my face all week, screaming, and when I get to work on Christmas day there's a line of people at the door, there just to shop, they're in no hurry, it's not last minute shopping, they're just there.
So a man comes up to me and shows me a DS game (small cartridges in small boxes for a hand held system) and complains that it didn't come with a booklet. So I explained to him that he bought it used, they're not guaranteed to come with booklets, or even boxes. So he throws it at me...
Yup...throws it at me, and says he doesn't want it any more. So now I have to explain that are used sales are final to a man twice my size who throws video games at me and he balls up his fist to swing at me. Really? I mean really you're going to get this irate about a used game not having a booklet? honestly people...
So I tell him that I think we have another box out on the floor, it might have a booklet. So I go find it and thankfully it did, and handed it to the guy. So suddenly he's all smiles and goes "oh thank you" and leaves.
WHAT THE ****?! People are insane. That's what I learned from retail. Any way, so my boss has the gall to text me "merry Christmas" which further puts me out. Then yesterday...man, people are crazy, again.
You know what though? Today is the one year anniversary of dating my boyfriend
so it's all ok. I finally had a day off on Saturday, I had some time to cool down, I've completely gone off my diet though. Being so stressed and being around all those sweets was not a good combination. I didn't do -terrible- but I still feel bad about not being stronger.
There. I feel better. I love you girls
My christmas week
Then I'll write you a really nice comment card!
