I can't believe how busy it was at work today! [View All]

The grocery store I work in was open today, for the first christmas since I've been there (7 years). I opted to work - figured I could get some stuff done and catch up (I run the wine and liquor and my shelves were wiped out) and besides, we get paid triple time on holidays. Thought it would be a nice quiet day, with maybe some people picking up a few items they really needed.

There were people shopping. Grocery shopping - full carts. They were buying tons of wine and booze and our parking lot was full from the time we opened (8 am - we were supposed to open at 9 but they were pounding on the doors at 8) till the time I left. I couldn't believe it. Do none of these people have lives? Families? I know if I didn't have to work, I sure as hell wouldn't have left the house.

It was very strange and I'm happy to be home. Merry christmas....
