Another long day

Posted by Holly on Dec 20, 2007 under Christmas shopping, stuff

Once again we went Christmas shopping, this time the day went much better and we got alot more done. It was also was not as busy as yesterday and people were alot nicer, my faith in humanity has been restored!

There were a few interesting points to our day. Mostly people playing with my nephew because he’s so cute, but there was a man who thought my nephew was my baby and he kept telling me I needed to plan for the future. He handed me a thing about getting life insurance quotes and kept going on about planing for college and all that. Once he took a breath I was able to tell him the baby was not mine, but I would give my sister the information.

Anyway we were able to get some great Christmas gifts and came up with a few more that we can get later. Hopefully we can do that soon so were not out Christmas eve trying to get things done. We will have to wait and see!

A waste of time

Posted by Holly on Dec 20, 2007 under Christmas shopping, personal, stuff

This is the time of year that I hate Christmas shopping, my sister and I went out today to find just a few things. She hasn’t done any shopping yet, but she wasn’t looking for something in particular. We found a few things and she got a really good deal on an artificial tree. So they day did get some things accomplished.

Why do I hate Christmas shopping right now? Well it’s because people are very rude. My sister just had a baby and she has a one year old and a 7 year old. The 7 year old was in school so we just had the two little ones. At this particular store I had the baby, she had the one year old. I got cut off constantly. I had 3 women run into the cart because they were idiots and not watching what they were doing. One was too busy looking at raymond weil watches to even notice where she was going. The baby was in plan site and you could tell it was a newborn. Why are people so stupid?

Thats not the worst part, my sister was told by store associate that if she didn’t get her baby to shut up, she would have to leave the store. I worked in retail and I told off the associate and spoke with the manager. I have a feeling the girl was fired. That might have to do with the fact that I said I use to mystery shop and knew who to call if something was not done about the workers attitude.

Has anyone else run into cranky people? I hate to say it, but around here, it’s the people who have money that are the worst, they seem to think they can walk all over everyone. Of course there are a few exceptions both ways, but what happened to common courtesy?
