Here you can have this shouts the woman with rage in her
eyes as she flings the jewellery stand at the girl behind the till because in
her preoccupation at getting all the bargains she’s headbutted it and slightly
hurt herself.
This place is rubbish, let’s go somewhere else squeal the
gang of teenagers as they dump everything they’ve been trying on in a huge
mound of the changing room floor.
You’re useless rants the man in the assistants face as they
have been unable to get the item he’s left it till the last minute to buy for
his Mrs. and now it’s sold out everywhere
It’s been a long time since I’ve spent the Christmas period
serving people in the retail industry but hearing the way some other people
treat and speak to those that are trying to help them just brings the horror of
it all back and at times makes me ashamed to be a human being .
So this season of goodwill please remember that that shop
assistant has a life too, they’re not just there to be abused by you during the
Christmas period.
