Hello friends! Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all enjoy lots of good food and quality time with family and friends.
There are probably some of you who are ready to get a head start on your holiday shopping by taking part in the annual madness known as Black Friday. If that's one of your traditions, I hope you enjoy it. I would just like to give you a few suggestions on how you can start your holiday shopping while spreading some holiday cheer to the people around you, specifically, the store employees.
1. DON'T START YOUR SHOPPING ON THANKSGIVING! For the love of all that is good, if you're going to go Black Friday shopping, wait til Friday. Companies start their sales Thursday evening because they know you'll come. This pulls innocent employees away from their family holiday celebrations. If we don't shop on Thanksgiving, stores will not need to be open.
2. Be patient. It's the busiest shopping day of the year. There are going to be lots of people, which makes for very long lines. Just relax and be patient. The cashiers are doing their best to get everyone out in a timely manner.
3. Don't complain to the cashier about things like wait times and prices. First of all, by taking the time to complain to your cashier, you are holding up the line. Second of all, cashiers can't control these things. Honestly, cashiers have no control over anything. Complaining to them is pointless. Plus, whatever you're complaining about is nothing compared to the hell these cashiers are experiencing.
4. Don't push or trample people. Almost every year there is at least one story of a Black Friday shopper, or occasionally a store employee, getting severely injured or killed in the rush. Believe me, whatever deal you're trying to get is not worth hurting and/or killing people.1
These are just a few of the things you need to keep in mind when doing your holiday shopping. For more suggestions, visit hownottobeajerk.tumblr.com.
