12 Things Retail Workers Hate About Every Damn Holiday Season

Deep breaths. The holiday season is ending soon. YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS!

Sure, Christmas time can be fun for a lot of people. Decorating gingerbread houses, setting up the tree and spending time with your loved ones, feeling that festive cheer…

Unless you work in retail, the definition of hell during the holiday season.

Every retail worker during the holiday season can relate to at least one of these things, but don’t worry, it’ll be over soon.

1. When it’s December 24th and customers get mad that the product they just ordered won’t arrive before Christmas

2. When customers keep asking how much each item costs even though everything has a price tag on it

3. When customers ask if you can give them the Boxing Day sale now

4. When you’ve been working so much that you haven’t seen your friends in weeks

5. When customers start tapping their card before you’ve even scanned the items

6. When customers ask “so have you been busy?” while the whole store is in chaos

7. When customers try to return items without a receipt and they don’t know when or where they bought it

8. When customers are on the phone but also try to get you to do a million different tasks for them

9. And when you’re on the phone and customers try to get your attention

10. When customers ask you if you can wrap items from another store

11. When customers try to use the store ladder to get things off the top shelf

12. When you’ve had to listen to Michael Bublé’s Christmas album for the entire month of December

Deep breaths, fam. We’re nearly there.
