Dear Black Friday Shoppers,

Well, the holiday season is finally here and that means Black Friday is here. For anyone that doesn’t do black Friday shopping in stores, you can disregard this letter AFTER what I’m about to say.

BE NICE TO YOUR SALES ASSOCIATES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS.

They are dealing with customers all day and yelling at them does not help.

As someone who deals with baseball fans questions and requests while standing in that summer heat, it’s not something that they want to endure—especially when it’s crowded in a department store.

So, whether you speak to them in person or on the phone, don’t lose your temper on them.

Now for the store shoppers,

The stores WILL be crowded, you’re going to be angry and mad and please don’t take your anger out on the workers because 95% of the time, you can find the product on the store’s website or amazon….and get free shipping.

The people working in the stores are just regular people and yes they are preparing for this day.

My suggestion to you: look for it online before you hit the stores. You can definitely find it online and get discounts and then you can cross it off the list and (if it’s for a child), tell them that Santa got their list.

Happy shopping! May the discounts ever be in your favor!

Sincerely,

A retail worker and customer service rep
