8 Times Michael Scott Described The Horrors Of Working Retail

No one really knows the true struggle of working in retail, unless you work in retail. I have had the pleasure of working in retail for about three years or more, but every shift something entertaining always occurs. So today, I decided to have Michael Scott describe how fun working in retail truly is. For those who work in retail, sit back, relax and enjoy. To those who don't work in retail.. feel lucky.

1. Arriving at work.

Another day of fun –– NOT! But at the end of the day, your closer to getting a nice looking paycheck.

2. Doing Carts

I work two jobs; one being a grocery store and let me just tell you, I absolutely hate doing carts. I have done carts in the rain and the heat. It is not fun at all.

3. When you still have seven hours to go.

Workcangetsobusy! Itcanfeellikeyou havebeenthereforhours butinreality,it hasonlybeenanhour.

4. The rude Customer returns to your line.

IabsolutelyHATErudepeople. Ido, however, findithilariouswhenthecustomerswhowererudetome, returntomyline. Butallyoucandoissmile.

5. When your boss tells a joke.

Even when the jokes bad, just remember, they're in charge of your check. So, in that case, they are the funniest people in the world.

6. When a customer asks you a question that you do not even know the answer to.

Just because we work there, does not mean we know everything. And some things that the customers ask us, we might not understand... thank goodness for customer service!

7. Thoughts when the store gets super busy!

Sometimes, work can get extremely busy. To a point that there will be a line, going around the store, you are running out of bags, your manager is running around like a chicken with its head cut off and people are complaining. The only thing that will keep you going is the thought of your shift being over.

8. The end of the shift.

It's the end of the day! It is finally time to go home. After a long day, you clock out and head out of the building. Most of the time, after work depending on how long the shift is, you are usually exhausted.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

1. Finals are weeks away, I’m sure I’ll be ready for them when they come.

Librarian Lavender

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
