Retail Christmas

It's two weeks till Christmas And the store is a zoo. The customers are grumpy And I guess we are too. Whatever they're after Has already been sold. If all the tinsels silver, You can bet they want gold. The cashiers are all working As fast as they can. Would serve the shoppers right If we just up and ran. In retail it's hectic This time of the year So no matter what happens Don't let them see fear. The one day we're closed Will be Christmas Day And we've all asked Santa For an increase in pay.

This poem reminds me of the three months I worked at a local Best Buy. Today, I consider that three months of my life wasted. You have described everything here quite well with some good rhyming.

You ladies who work in these stores and having to cater for these nutters of shoppers should be given a medal. Christmas is so lovely, shopping for Christmas, no way. Nice one Francine >> James :)
