Be Kind

I got to the mall AFTER the sun rose today, so I probably missed out on most of the longest lines.

But I heard horror stories from other shoppers. One was so glad to wait only 20 minutes or so to check out at Sears, he was practically giddy.

But other shoppers had a case of the Christmas grumpies — and made it known they were not pleased with any wait, and especially one that involved a price check.

Here’s a tip folks: The stores are going to be crowded on Black Friday. Everyone wants a bargain, but all that savings comes with a price — your patience. And yelling at the clerk who has stood there bleary-eyed since 4 a.m.  isn’t going to speed things along.

Instead, tell her thanks for her hard work today.

I’m sure she’d rather be shopping.
