God Bless the TJ MAXX employees that place all the red stickers on all of my Christmas crap that I buy in January... and kisses to the ones who just marked down a bunch of beautiful fall stuff that I got for 1 and 2 dollars. Love it.
I worked at Target for two grueling weeks during the holiday season last year.....including Black Friday.
Never again.
Ever.
I refuse to even leave my house on Black Friday if I can help it.....sale prices be damned. I'll pay full price as long as I don't have to deal with all those crazy assed people ever again.
I salute you for sticking it out. Over worked. Under paid. Under appreciated.
BTW...I quit that job not because of Black Friday, but because I got to where I could hardly walk my feet hurt so bad. I would literally wanna crawl to my car at night. On my days off....I didn't walk at all unless it was to get up and go to the bathroom. My fiance brought me food and drink and I sat with my feet up lol
I never understood the crazy hours of inventory. My mother has to work Thursday from 1 pm to 10 pm. Inventory would drive me nuts. I think I would just make up numbers. LOL
When I worked at Target, it was when the still did the early bird specials and the registers would literally convert back to the regular price at 11am. Talk about MADNESS!
Inventory time for us is 5am to 2pm. 2 years ago, we were still scanning at 7pm. I said fuck it and went home. Or rather, my Godparents called me at work and said I had worked long enough, to come home and tend to my child! LMBO
Last year we didn't finish until 4:30. So it has progressively gotten better.
The store I am in is the absolute PITS! Downtown, lunch hour customers are no joke!
reminds me of my part-time gig at K&G a couple of years ago - I think I even blogged about it on 360.
I really only wanted the discount but next thing I know I went from 15-20 hours a week to about 36 hours a week.
and one crazyass supervisor who had issues at home with her mom saw her role to attempt to dominate over all the employees on her shift.
that crazy bitch would roll out those racks of clothes for you to put out and nex ttime you work with her, that crazy bitch would have you take the shit off and put it back on the rack to be rolled back to the warehouse.
and did I mention she was...SKERD OF WHITE FOLKS? LOL
craziness...I need to blog about my K&G advventures cause the shit was hilarious to me.

ReplyDeleteFor the first time in the 3 years I have been at this store we finished ON TIME!

ReplyDeleteI go through this on occasion with my feet. I have a pretty bad case of plantar fascitis in my right foot.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, God willing, this will be my last year in retail.
