For those of you who are unfamiliar with the woes of working in retail, here is a guide to shopping that will come before the sad story of my last three years.
If you are a shopper needing help - by all means ask a sales associate. But please, remember, every customer is of EQUAL importance, so for crying out loud ask someone who is NOT busy. That means NOT getting the poor sales associate at cash with a three-thousand person line up to come help you find whatever useless tidbit you simply can't live without. It also means if you find someone working on a project, like unpacking boxes or building furniture, that you probably should find someone else. Why, you ask? Because, you ninny, that person either a) is extremely busy and is not going to appreciate your question, or b) is not the right person to ask because they probably won't be able to help you anyway. If your job was to unpack furniture and tag it, you probably wouldn't get a chance to learn where everything in the store was, now would you. Is that understanding I see in those eyes of yours? About damn time.
