Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving dinner in 3 minutes? I wish!




A quick note to all you Black Friday shoppers:

First and foremost, be safe! This means looking out for your fellow shoppers, as well as yourselves. There is no need to run, push, shove, or yell. A $100 television is not worth putting your health or life in jeopardy. Keep an eye out for small children, the handicapped, and elderly. Alert employees immediately if you spot any potential hazards.

And speaking of employees: as a retail associate who will be working tomorrow, I cannot stress the importance of being nice! It's not the employees fault if they run out of doorbuster items within the first hour. It's not their fault if they don't have a specific item in stock. It's not their fault if the cash registers go down. It's not their fault if your credit card is declined. Please please please do not yell at, scream at, berate, swear at, or physically accost these people! They are working hard to get you in and out as fast as possible with exactly what you wanted. So before you freak out on the 16-year-old cashier because they don't have the item you want, take a deep breath and calm down. You're dealing with a human being, and it's never too early to start spreading holiday cheer!
