Just hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ring ting — OH MY GOD THE REGISTER IS FROZEN AND THERE ARE TEN PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE.

Seasons greetings and welcome to the store. Time for the countdown only retail workers could understand.

10. When you have ten minutes until open and someone is standing outside knocking and pulling on the door.

You both make eye contact, you point to the store hours posted on the window, they see them, the read them, they continue to shake the door

9. When you greet a customer with every ounce of effort you have in your body and they ignore you.

8. When the customer says "OH. There's no price tag? It must be free! Hahahahaha!"

7. When you perfectly fold all the sweaters and think of it as your first born child, turn around for two minutes, and it has been picked apart by customers.

6. When you check the fitting rooms, expecting them to be empty, and the last one you check has what looks like the entire store in a pile.

5. "DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO DO YOUR JOB."

4. When your break is almost over and you have to go back out on the floor.

3. When the customer, who has been rude to you the entire time, has an expired coupon.

2. When your shift is almost over.

1. When your coworker shows up to relieve your shift and you get to go home.

THE END.
