Pet peeves

So for those of you that don't know, I work in retail- which can be a fun and exciting place to work- however it has its down falls. For example Holidays are a bust because it is so hard to get time off and you start seeing christmas things in OCTOBER! Another is while you can meet some really interesting people, you can also meet some horrible people- retail is a great place to study human behavior. My biggest pet peeve of all, however is that people assume you are Walmart( open 24 hours) or that we are Taco bell (open late)- we are not and most retailers are not either-so my pet peeve is the nutballs that come in 5 minutes until closing time or at closing time! They are never people needing anything, "they are just looking"! Show your courtesy to your fellow working "man" and assume that we all want to go home at closing time too! We also don't get to just leave either- there are lights to be shut off, drawers to be counted, and so on- thank you!
Seriously next time check for a stores closing time or if you do have to come in close to closing time- take the time to apologize and at least pretend to have some sympathy for the workers waiting on you.
