If you’ve worked in retail during Christmas, you’ve pretty much been to war.

Instead of gun shots, it’s Christmas music. Instead of dead bodies, it’s clothes from the fitting rooms. And instead of enemies, it’s Karen asking to speak to the manager.

As retail workers, we’ve all seen our fair share of customers wreaking havoc on our lives during Xmas. The rush, stress, and anxiety of the season, is seemingly enough of an excuse for people to act like animals, and mess up that pile of shirts that I spent an hour folding.

From the Xmas music, to the gift receipts, to Boxing Day, we’ve been through it all, and seen the worst of the worst from customers during the month of December.
