I was watching "Pushing Daisies" interspersed with ads for J. C. Penney's after Thanksgiving sale which starts at 4:00 AM on Friday and I was having flashback nightmares about my days in retail. When I started working at May Co. (yes, that was a while back) the last week or so before Christmas we would open an hour early (9 AM) and close an hour later (10 PM) to accomodate Christmas shopping. When I finally left that job we were opening at 8 AM and staying open until 11 PM or midnight almost all the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Christmas day was just a blip in between the madness of Christmas Eve and the insanity of the day after Christmas sales.
I'm so glad I don't do that anymore.
