To remind people that the shops are only shut for one fucking day?!

Please, give me strength. Why do so many people panic buy, pile their trollies Sky high and get rude and stroppy with retail staff at this time of year? No, Armageddon isn't coming, it's Christmas! The shops are shut for a grand of one day, 24 hours later they will open again on the morning of Boxing Day. Please consider this when you are filling you're trollies with about 17 pints of milk and 20 loaves of bread or having a go at a sales assistant for ruining your Xmas. I wonder how people coped back in the days when the shops shut for several days?!

My Facebook feed is full of stories of people fighting over sprouts and having fights in car parks because they are so busy. I went passed my local Morrisons earlier and the traffic was backed up around the car park and onto the road.

Quite frankly if you leave it all until the last minute to do your shopping you are a knob who needs to be more organised next year, and honestly the sky will not fall in if you don't have sprouts on your plate come xmas day.

People need to getting a sodding grip!

I don't understand people who work in retail then whinge about it!
I worked in retail for about ten years and loved it! Loved Christmas time! If you don't like it find something else. We have a family member who works in retail and every fucking year he whines on about how they have it so bad in shops etc. Sorry but just get on with it, if you don't like it get another job! Yes people are rude and that's unacceptable but I have that in my job too. Retail is not the worst job in the world. I feel for the nurses and doctors working clearing up after everyone who's drank too much etc.

I went shopping today and had a piled high trolley because I also got paid today and I hadnt been shopping for 2 weeks. I went to Morrison's at six this morning and I managed not to be rude to the staff there, well I was to one but he's my dp Wink
