This soooooooo made my Thanksgiving and I would like to share with all...one of you.
On Thursday, My place of work had a sale of 50% off select videogames. When I got there at 5AM (an hour before the sale started), there was about 70 people waiting in line for videogames alone. I had never seen such a turnout on Thanksgiving and I was also a little scared since I and a fellow co-worker were to be manning the game cases.
When it came time to start handing people the games they wanted, I was pleasantly surprised that everyone was really cool about having to wait X amount of hours just so they could get 2 or so games for half off.
As the line dwindled, a rather greedy lady asked if she could get multiple copies of a game. I wanted to tell her to stop thinking like a greedy douche but I bit my tongue and said only one. A lady, 2 guests back, had a copy of the ad with her and pointed out that it didnt say anything about not being able to grab multiple copies of a single games, just that there was a limit of 4.
Wanting to avoid argument, I agreed with her and let the lady in front have 2 copies of the game she wanted. The lady after her also requested 2 copies of the same game. This brings me to the guest that pointed out that you should be able to grab multiple copies of a game. Thanks to her not keeping her mouth shut, the 2 ladies in front of her grabbed the last 4 copies of the game she wanted leaving her shit out of luck for pointing something out and wanting to be a greedy douche.
She realized her stupidity after I told her the two ladies in front of her grabbed the last 4 copies of the game she wanted. The lady then asked both ladies if either of them would be willing to surrender one of their copies and both the ladies just looked at her and laughed. I was able to contain my laughter but thanks to that lady, I had the biggest smile on my face for the rest of the day.
This proves that working retail, as shitty as it can be sometimes, has it's huge perks when situations like this happen.

At least you didn't get trampled. People get ridiculous on Black Friday. Or so I hear. I avoid it at all costs, although I did go to Danville at about 8:30, but The Crazies had pretty much finished by then. Plus, it's Danville...not exactly the mecca of commercialism. Still, I hate crowds of people. Luckily, Tractor Supply wasn't too full. Yes, that's right, Tractor Supply. That's where I went Christmas shopping, although it was by a friend's suggestion, not mine. No, I'm not from Indiana at all...
