I don’t know why I volunteered to work on boxing day, I must have been outside my mind!  Since the store that I normally work at wasn’t open for boxing day, I got shipped off to Eaton’s centre.  I already sensed trouble when I got hustled onto the subway on my way to work.  It was COMPLETE chaos at Eaton’s, I wish that I had taken pictures or something.  Anyway, here is a standout convo from today:

Young asian lady wearing heavy make up and a gold vinyl trench coat: *holding 20 different items*

Me: Hi there!  Did you know about our sale today?

Lady: NOOOOO, tell me about it (can barely speak English)

Me: Well, just to let you know, you get an additional 25% off all sale merchandise (yeah I know, seriously BIG SHIT)

Lady: OOOOOOOH REALLY?  MY HUSBAND WILL BE SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT!  DID YOU HEAR THAT HONEY? *looks over to a suspicious old white man surrounded by shopping bags with book in hand leaning at the entrance of the store*

Husband: *nod but does not look up from exciting sci fi reading material*

Lady: “HONEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS SKIRT?”

Husband: *glance* “Uh huh”

Lady: EXCUSE ME, can you help me find that red top?  My husband loves it! *points to mannequin*  I need it in a small, THANKS!

Me: *retrieves top for lady in 10 seconds*

Lady: “OMG YOU KNOW MY SIZE!  YOU’RE SO SWEET!”

Me: “Uh huh…”

Lady: “Honey, she found the top!  LOOK, look!” *prances around*

Husband: *does not look up*

All sorts of crazies on boxing day…
