Black Friday Shoppers

[UxorQuodMatris]

Just a friendly reminder from an associate who will be there at 3 am....please be nice. There are many people who will be acting like animals just released from a zoo, try your best not to be one of them. 

 I'd also like to remind you that the following are not my fault- pricing errors, merchandise quantities, rude customers or even the rude associate. If you chill for a minute, I will be able to adjust, apologize or report your issue. If you start bitching at me, I'm less inclined to help you to the full extent of my capabilities.

I enjoy talking to people, but the people behind you don't particularly care if the towels you are buying are going to be used in your guest bath because your brother whom you haven't seen in 4 years is coming to visit. They want to pay for their crap and leave.

If you have a question, either wait in line or ask me to page one of the many associates on the floor for you. Do not stand to the side of my register staring at me. My line will be there until I leave, and if I allow you to butt in and slow that line down, it will start a riot.  There will be 12 people on the sales floor to answer your questions.

If you must bring your children, please keep them wrangled. Someone has to clean up that bedding display Junior just tore apart.  Leave the Heelys at home.

Don't stand in line tapping your foot, staring at me. That won't enable me to move faster. Yes, the lines will be long, it's Black Friday. 

Dispose of your own coffee cups. If you absolutely have to be rid of them in the store, ask me to throw it away for you. Don't leave them on the fixtures and don't allow your kid to do so either.

That's all for now lol.

I agree, it should be an everyday thing, but something about shopping at 4 am makes people absolutely insane.

I do NOT envy you for  having to deal with that... I avoid all shops/stores like the plague on Black Friday, heh.

Great post, I whole heartedly agree with you.   Everyone should also remember what happened last year about this time when everything got out of hand, with the Wal-Mart Associate being trampled to death.

Good luck tomorrow, mama. :D  Hope all goes well and there's no crazy drama.

I'm going out around midnight-1am with some crazy friends that want to leave that early. I don't act like a crazy person though!
