And Black Friday Wins

And Black Friday Wins


The majority of my days are spent working behind the scenes....

I have an office with a direct line and I deal with issues like hiring and payroll and needy coworkers that cant seem to remember their fucking password to save their life.

But there are days.....

That I volunteer my time on the sales floor.

Days like.... Black Friday

I continue to be disappointed by the population at large. What has happened to us as a society that we have to yell and berate an employee because a limited quantity item has sold during a Black Friday Sale.

Listen Karen, I don't care that you drove 45 minutes to get here to pick up that Apple Watch. It's gone. Maybe you should have left earlier.

The early bird gets the worm, right?

How about this Karen..... How about the fact that I have NOTHING to do with how much product we have on the floor and what quantities we receive for such sales as a Black Friday Sale. Have you considered that maybe, just maybe, these are elements that are out of my control and that when you treat me like shit it hurts my feelings?

Probably not....

No, all you care about is the fact that you are leaving without an Apple Watch. You will fester and treat every sales person you come into with like shit. You will complain that we never have anything you come for and that you don't understand how we can stay in business with such poor customer service. You will likely even complain about the rude sales woman couldn't miraculously produce an Apple Watch of thin air.

I can only hope, Karen, that the treatment you bestowed upon me is one day bestowed upon you as well.

I'm certain you will enjoy it just as much as I did.

    It's people like Karen that keep me home on Black Friday where I can shop online.
It's people like Karen that make me miss working in manufacturing the most. Never had to worry about this stupid shit.

    I've worked in sales (corporate), most of my life. Although, I did a stint in retail for a while - and I have dimples as well. Unfortunately... they're on my ass, so clients were never able to appreciate them.
    I had to learn how to count to twenty. 🤔
    Besides the dimples, what else ya got? 😶
    You let stuff get to you?
    Hmmm... but then you laugh and blog about it. You're ok! 👍 ✔️👌
You mean you didn't pull out the dimples as part of your sales pitch?? Lol I've also got long reddish brown hair I wore in curls yesterday.... My work BFF told me it looked very pretty. Nose Hairs even commented on it....

    Yes, people are rude. I personally, stay out of the stores on Black Friday.
Believe me... If I didn't have to work it, I wouldn't be there either.

    I work for a delivery company and have for 20 years.

Succinctly put.... Get over it!

Lol.... nope! The only view I have is into my boss's office.

I have had sales positions in the past.... I actually did fairly well. I've got that dimpled smile and cheery disposition that people tend to be drawn to. I didn't care for the jobs, though, cause I kinda hate working with the population at large.

Thankfully I don't work on the floor regularly. That woman was terrible. I ended up telling her off in a polite, customer service voice. I had to tell the boss duo cause I was feeling like shit afterward, Boss #1 gave me my 5 minutes to stew about it and told me to let it go. He knows I have a hard time letting things not bother me...
