So guys, I just got a job working at Toys R Us for the holiday season. Yeah, for serial. And I should mention I've never worked retail before.
I figure this is actually a resume booster because if I survive people will see my accomplishment and say "The kid must be tough."
Anyone want to give me advice or abuse or just say "You poor stupid bastard"?

FUCK YOU AND DIE IN THE HORRIBLE STINKING TRAILER PARK YOUR MOMMA BIRTHED YOU IN
that is just a taste of what awaits you
during a holiday season
with no prior experience in retail?
you're going to cry
you're a seasonal employee at toys r us
you are less than dirt to customers, managers, supervisors, and most other employees
Ha! I actually get $8.00 an hour! So THERE!
Most of my previous work experience has actually been internships on political campaigns (I'm finishing my degree in poly sci), and the theory I'm operating on is that if I can handle an angry voter who just got her 50th campaign call of the day at dinner time I can handle any holiday shopper.
Yeah, I know, I'm full of shit. And yes, I am fully aware I'll get canned by like the middle of January post-returns at the latest.
Boy just cause they give you a gun, and tell you how to shoot, doesnt mean you know how to kill a man.
you'll be dealing with these people face to face, not over the phone
salvation is not one button push away
remember that kids are dickheads
and this ain't a resume builder
nobody cares that you sold toys at christmas
You'll become a stronger person because of it, don't worry.
But yeah it won't do shit for your resume, but it'll give you good practice at customer service.
Pre-Christmas is bad, but that one day of boxing day is just the worst.
Mind you I'm at Best Buy, not Toys 'R Us.
It will build character, like Calvin's dad always said.
always
videogames seem like the hot ticket item lately
Everyone should work black Friday retail just once, so they remember to treat people, like people.
Seriously.
And don't make their first day black Friday
Went googling to see the top toys this year and it's likely some stupid pillow that is also a stuffed animal.
A pillow pet.
BUT WHO THE FUCK CARES LOOK AT THIS AWESOME TOY THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BUY
LEGO MINOTAURUS.
want that.
I imagine that you just sat down at a bar stool and started drinking to ease the pain.
So if this is a typical evening for me, I should be fine?

If your life as it is has put you on the drink, this Christmas will have you mixing them with prescription pain killers.
Holidays at tru are seriously the best. Just keep in mind there are at least 40 other new season people depending on the size of your store who suck.
Apparently "my" store goes from about 40 up to about 120 for the season.
Then, Waldenbooks offered me a seasonal job at a nearby mall. Thank God, that job was way more awesome (I worked the calendar store by myself for 2 months, it was easy).
Hahaha. I thought Code Adam was a toy or game or something. You have no idea how confused I was in regards to this year's new hot toy
