Ok honestly... today was absolutely insane.
I got to work with my sister at 6:45 this morning (because Sears head office is insane and likes to open 2 or 3 hours before the rest of the mall and compete with the Bay)
Staff parking was almost full from the 150+ people who were waiting near ONE of the SIDE entrances to the store. This is SIX IN THE EFFIN MORNING.
THANK GOODNESS I work on the main floor in Apparel & Accessories and didn't have to deal with the stampede to major appliances and electronics.
We had 50 snowblowers for half price at $499 and they were all gone within the first hour. The plasma TVs on special were all gone by 8:00am.
Furthermore, my friend in security showed me footage of a man who had arrived at 4:20 THIS MORNING AND SAT IN FRONT OF THE STORE TIL WE OPENED AT 7:00.
*shakes head* ...madness... sales and rapid credit acquisition were amazing though :) cha-ching! :toocool: |

I'm not telling :toocool: lol
I work mostly in the mens wear department and I've had randoms visit me at work before and make outlandish requests like
"Can you please take my measurements to ensure the proper fitting for the new CK line of boxer briefs" LOL
Plus you don't want me to help you... I'm a manipulative bitch and I will make you buy all sorts of things that you don't need and then put them on your brand new Sears Card that you didn't even know you had ;)
Kenneth Cole cuff links anyone? hahaha |

well i just got home about an hour ago from working at futureshop since 4am. when i arrived at the store, the line was about 200 people. by the time we opened at 6am it must have been at least 500. quite a bit more then previous years. not much i can say about the crazyness that hasn't been said already. i shouldn't really get into numbers, but i will say that our store hit 7 figures again this year.
nothing too crazy happened. by that i mean fist fights for products, or lawsuits from people getting pushed and shoved to the ground. i have seen both in my years. i asked the first group in line what time they got there, and they said 11:30pm on christmas day. :crazy:
i'm glad it's all over. unfortunately we still have the rest of boxing week to deal with. |
