Dear Customers, With Love

Every Retail Workers Christmas List

Oh, the joys of the holidays. People are happy, excited, and ready for the most wonderful time of the year. People enjoy the holiday's and obtain no stress, at all. What a magical world to live i-, just kidding. This is 2016, and we're in America. Christmas, while is is still a wonderful and magical time for many, can unfortunately create anxiety, stress, and most of all, rudeness out of the nicest people. Guess who get's to spend their holidays with these kinds of people? Retail workers! Here are some of the things you can find on any retail worker's list this holiday season.

1. Not to be screamed at by a stranger 10x a shift. Am I asking too much?

2. To enjoy the one (maybe) holiday I get off of work.

3. Wishing I could tell angry customers to calm down because they'll be put on the naughty list.

4. To never have another return, ever. Nope, sorry, we discontinued returning things.

5. To never have anything physically thrown at my face because it wasn't the price a customer was hoping for. Sure, it's my fault. Happy Holidays!

6. To ban anyone from entering the store starting 10 minutes until closing.

7. To never get screamed at because my store charges for gift boxes. "You charge? WOOOOOOOW" "Yes, sorry."

8. Never be asked questions as I am running to my beloved break.

9. To never have anyone on the team call out sick, especially on Christmas Eve.

10. To have time to actually shop for my family's presents.

11. To be able to yell at people when they touch you're freshly folded tables/walls. "Back away from the denim wall, just back away."

12. Never having to do a price check again, now that would be a Christmas miracle.

13. To never get yelled at again because we didn't have what a customer was searching for.

14. To have all pleasant, happy, and joyful customers otherwise, they are not allowed to shop.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
