Re: Work on Christmas Eve
When I worked for Goodwill-weekends every single week of the year for 3 years straight.-unless you begged for vacation-and Xmas eve night till 9PM.
But every year around 3PM, no one got within a mile of our second hand store. So it was about 5 or so hours of standing around and trying to look busy when scrooge-a.k.a the boss- walked by.
I was glad to see our 24 hour Walmart closed early and is closed tomorrow. Those people have been bustin' some butt due to the holidays and were worn down to a frazzle. So,if anyone in retail is still at it tonight,my heart goes out to you-or anyone for that much. Being with family and friends is a big part of Xmas.

After working the Xmas eve shift it really makes me appreciate tonight. Here in my town,Kmart is open late-probably 10PM. Also,Hastings was open until 8PM. I was forced to go there because wifey HAD to buy some book tonight-The people working there were still running wild helping people find stuff. It really is amazing how people wait till the last second to snag up gifts. Just wait till the day after Xmas,the return madness begins and the retail holocast rears it's ugly head once more-I've done retail at other places and thought the day after Xmas was almost as bad as the day after Thanksgiving.
