The Day After

In Retail

By Bryndan GrahamPublished 4 years ago β€’ 1 min read

In retail, you prepare for holidays weeks in advance

Inventory full of whatever collaboration

The company thought inclusive to

That demographic

Donations already programmed in the systems

Decorations, if any, already scattered around the store

In retail, whatever is apart of that collection is for limited time only

Just like the holiday

The store, back to normal before the next day is able to settle itself in

And the world reminds me once again

I’m only marketable not valued

My existence only a News segment

Or store section wide

And my likeness isn’t seen as human but product placement
