shopgirl---I have to agree with you about the retail thing. I have worked retail during my summers and holidays while in college and Christmas time is fun
People are generally in a better mood and the hustle of the store makes the time go by faster during my shift! Of course you always get a few bad apples but that can happen with anything. I guess I hate that some stores start decorating in October for Christmas. It's like "hello, we haven't even had Halloween yet!"
