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

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

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

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

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

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 

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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
