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.

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.
