In the worst ways

1. Hand an employee a list and wait for them to find everything for you while you wait by the door.

Just because we get paid minimum wage doesn't mean we don't qualify as a personal shopper!

2. Choose your own path on how to get in line.

The signs are there as a distraction—you do you! Even if it means shoving past a small child!

3. Hide your Starbucks cups in the back of display shelves.

It’s so much easier than throwing them in the trashcan a yard away. Plus, nobody will ever find them if you do it well enough.

4. If you decide not to purchase your items, leave your cart in the middle of the aisle.

They'll put themselves back. They told us so.

5. Ask the manager if you can speak to the manager.

Maybe they'll forget their role and go get someone else.

6. If your item doesn't ring up at the register, ask if it's free.

Ha! We've never heard that one before!

7. Upset about the cost of an item? Yell at an employee about it.

We are the ones who set the prices after all.

8. If you can't afford an item, just walk out of the store with it.

It's totally fine, all of the cameras are fake anyway.


9. Pull on the locked door after close not once, but seven times.

Don't even bother reading our hours which are right next to the handle you're wrangling.

10. And please shop for a small village right before close.

Because we get it--this isn't something you could have handled tomorrow or at the 24 hour store down the block.

Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
