    Maybe try being kind to retail workers all year round?! If you want to be bold just be a decent human being all around to everyone.

    As someone who has done the front line retail slog over the holidays you have my sympathies and my thanks.

    I am very glad to be out of retail hell now, but the christmas eve shift I did a couple of years ago was depressing with the amount of people that would come in looking for their children’s main gift, like a PS5 or an Xbox, and then yelled at us because we ran out of stock of those high-value items on Christmas eve. The worst was someone who started screaming at one of our nicest staff members that he had “ruined Christmas” for her and her whole family when she came in ten minutes before closing and we didn’t have the laptop she wanted for her son in stock. Some of the younger christmas temps got told off for laughing at her and it took two security guards and the staff member activating his bodycam for her to leave.

    Ugh that sucks! People buying things have actively worse behavior during Christmas here. Hang in there and I hope you have time off in January to recover!
