Holiday madness......Being the customer Part 2

Well as unusual as this sounds, I am up early that's what happens when you are surrounded by family that is over excited for the holidays I don't even remember sleeping. I spent the day with someone who waited until the last minute to shop, omg never again, I was so cranky and my feet hurt so bad. Whenever the person your with says" this my last stop, I got everything," and then come out that store and say " I forgot to get this." I say run, run like your life depended on it.  When you venture out in that Christmas shopping jungle, you better be ready so many people with one mission, I gotta finish my list at all cost. You know when you get to the places to shop and there is a shortage of parking spaces and then it becomes a survivor game, first come first serve.

 

Even though its the holiday's somehow people lose the good cheer and courtesy when it comes to parking and shopping, then you learn about the Grinch who stole Christmas lol. I also want to suggest bring extra bodies, extra arms are necessary to carry all those damn bags. I don't wait to last minute and if I do get in a rut I give cash or gift card. One store was so bad there was not enough walking room and I couldn't take it, no air to breath, even the staff disappeared from the floor.

You would think that discourages people from shopping but I believe people get desperate and would take the shelves if they made great gifts. I couldn't believe how many people were just heartless, and don't pick up something someone else wants omg your in for the fight of your life. Especially if its a popular item everyone is looking for, lol. Sometimes I wonder if the merchants just order enough to draw attention to themselves and then watch the people scrap like dogs and cats. Don't worry just when you thought you found the safe place to shop aka the shopping mall, wrong answer so wrong.

Although I have to hand it to the mall there is food courts and benches to sit down when your exhausted, then you wake up to reality that you have to go somewhere outside of the mall smh. You get that text that your favorite store has a huge sale and you can wrap it up and get the last items on the list. Well that's not a good idea, but at the time you don't think about it, everyone has heard about the sale. You go racing over there and then its on, like popcorn, people pushing and being aggressive, and no one cares about anything but the items they buy.

I only wished I had of quit when I felt that first headache coming on, instead I got talked into going to grab a bite to eat, smh, that was crazier. You don't realize the same people you have been out there with are also stopping and eating and just as irritated as you are. You know when to give up when your tired and you get to the item you want and its gone or not the right one you then say to yourself enough is enough. I am not going to another damn store, lol. By the time you get home all you want is something to drink, a glass of wine will do and you don't want to be bother with no one not even wrapping paper. You just Christmas to make its entrance and departure due to the commercial effects of it, so be safe and enjoy yourself and your family.
