Been a few days...

I really can't wait for the holidays to be over. The only day I have off this week is Christmas. Even have to be in early on Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas. One of the worst things about working retail, especially during the holidays, is you really see the greedy, ungrateful, impatient side of people. It's a constant reminder that no matter what you do, you can't please people. Tho, I've dealt with that bullshit so much in my everyday life all my life I'm thinking of getting a welcome mat tattooed on my back. Retail is just a knife twisting reminder of that. Which is one of the reasons it's making me so fucking insane.
But it just makes you wonder why the fuck you even bother to help or try to help. It's kind of a no brainer as to why there are hardly and caring and helpful people anymore. They were the ones smart enough to just said "Fuck it! I'm not putting up with this bullshit anymore!" Then you have people like me that seem to like the punishment and go just keep going back for more even tho you just keep getting burnt, walked over and stabbed in the back. I had a discussion about this with a friend once. We both agreed it's the fact that we can't stand the thought of letting someone we love down. We know what it's like to not have people there for us and how shitty it feels. So we don't wanna do that to others. We are the ones that seem to still honour the Golden Rule.  
Honestly... you see the worst side of human nature in retail. And that brings you down even worse, especially when you have to put up with that shit everyday.
