Working retail is never easy, but it becomes ten times harder during the holiday season. The stores become crazier, busier and harder to keep under control, and angry customers do not make it any easier. I'm sure if you have ever worked retail you can relate to at least one of the following memes about what it's like...

1. Going into your fifth shift in a row

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
