1. Customers are even more annoying than usual.
They are pushy and think they are the only customers in the store. They also think that you will be able to find the thing they NEED even though you've looked everywhere for the damned thing and it can't be found. AND they ask about additional sales even though there are 5786795 posters announcing your Black Friday deals.
2. The store is trashed the second the doors open.
Dust pops up out of nowhere and the next thing you know, there is a dust bunny army under every table. Clean piles of shirts and pants do not exist.
3. You make a lot of money and the only thing you can think about is how that money could pay off all of your college bills.
4. It is physically impossible to put anything back because there are people surrounding you at all times.
5. Crying children that should not be out at midnight but their parents refuse to skip out on shopping.
6. People who think it's okay to come in for a return.
Like, that's just so convenient that you have a $300 return and you decided to do it on the busiest day of the year.
7. You don't get paid time and a half for the hell you go through.
8. Pretending to be nice to people becomes a lot harder because you are so on edge.
9. Your shift never seems to end.
No matter how busy you are you can't stop thinking about escaping.
