Anyone who has worked retail can understand what a nightmare it can be during the christmas holidays.  Yesterday I was told off twice within 20 minutes.  Not a great way to start the day.  Anyway, today a customer actually did something that shocked the heck out of me.  He was in the other day and yelled at one of my associates.  Today when he can in, he asked to speak to her and he apologized and told her he knew it “wasn’t her fault” the equipment wasn’t working.  Wow!  Just when you lose faith in people, someone turns around and does something nice.  I think if people just stopped to think before letting their emotions get the better of them, christmas would be a much nicer time of year for everyone.
