    “Is this all you have left?” Every last minute shopper on any holiday So the holiday season has come and past and my favorite question to be asked will be dropped for awhile.

    Cash register pet peeves. If you’ve ever been any kind of cashier, you can likely relate to most of these.   -“Do you take checks?’ Yup, we sure do, but you don’t have to fill it out. But of course they’re going to fill it out because it’s easier to keep a record of. Sure.…

    The Grinch

    I didn’t always hate Christmas. I promise. Working retail at Christmas time is literal hell. People who are generally friendly are suddenly rushed and impatient.
