The retail ragers collective hardly need any encouragement.

If anything they should be encouraged to get jobs that don’t make them cry.

I like hearing their stories of notable customers and their behaviour.

I am a solutions guy, I don’t like to see people unhappy.

just discussing with the lady if she’d wear a sexy elf outfit for me xmas day, short skirt and all, she grunted with a contorted smirk, and I said so that’s a yes, to which she responded a shake of the head for most people usually means no.

discouraged none, there’s going to be no elf outfit.

Hopefully the corporate monsters don’t pull it off youtube.

A bit of two way Christmas Kindness happened Sunday.

As I was getting ready to go to the beach I saw my neighbour trying ( unsuccessfully ) to start his mower. I put a bit of petrol in mine and lent it to him. He was very grateful…. so grateful that when I got home from the beach he had mown my lawn too!

When we were living in a duplex, i did that for the people in the other unit, because it wasn’t worth running the mower just for ‘our’ little patch of grass.

The lady next door baked us a chocolate cake in return. And what a cake! Turns out she was a graduate of the Cordon Bleu school in Paris.

A delightful moment in the mayhem of retail work.

A boy (about 9) is buying a book with his own money. He has a list that he’s written. His money is organised in his wallet. He counts out the bills and uses words like thank you AND please. He crosses the gift off his list after the transaction.

Way more organised and polite and friendly than every adult that has ever crossed my path.

(according to his granny he has to buy each item in the order he has written it, so he might be a touch OCD :P )

Um…..some kid’s book. I must have handled a billion books yesterday, as well as a million LEGO sets, 3 gazillion boxes of choccies, 55 trillion gift cards and a partridge in a pear tree.
