A Letter To Customers This Holiday Season

In This Article:

Dear Shoppers,

As the holiday season approaches, you will soon be shopping everywhere and anywhere, looking for the perfect gifts for family, a warm winter coat, and home décor to get into the holiday spirit. While employees try to make sure your shopping experience is the best, please know we are also human and like to not be stuck at work all day. So please be cautious about the following:

1. Throwing Clothes Over The Racks

Giphy

It is okay to put the size L coat in the size S section, but do not throw it on the rack along with 7 other jackets and leave the hangers on the floor. I cannot tell if you're throwing them over the rack to practice your baseball pitch or if it is hard to use the hanger again.

2. Throwing Clothes On The Floor

Giphy

I still do not get how it is possible to walk away after letting 10 shirts fall on to the ground all at once, and you should know that I see you kicking the clothes under the rack trying to "hide" the mess.

3. Leaving the Fitting Room a Mess

Giphy

Just do not leave the clothes on the floor, that is all.

4. Ripping Open a Box and Putting the Contents Somewhere Else

Giphy

I know everything looks like it is wrapped like a Christmas present, but it is not meant to be ripped like one. I know we are all curious as to what is inside, but please do not rip the packages open and then throw the product to the side, leaving only an empty box. I cry a little inside.

5. Getting Mad When There Are No Coupons 

Giphy

Believe me sis, if I had a coupon to offer you, I would offer it! We want you to save! But we cannot force a 40% off coupon to magically appear!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
