The Joys of Holiday Retail
An Abcedenarian Poem
At your service! We are the retail employees handling
Black Friday and all the other days before
Christmas. Oh, the craziest retail month of the year:
December. Your average department store
Employee handles hundreds of
Frazzled shoppers seeking deals, unique
Gifts, and other super buys. Such as:
Holiday home décor, toys, pajamas, slippers, even
Items we didn’t even know were on the shelves!
Jewelry for presents or parties.
Knit sweaters to keep you cozy in the cold.
Late hours worked – shop until midnight!
Maybe amid all the purchases you have buyer’s remorse -
No judgement on returns, but please have your receipt.
Order a different size? No problem! Bought online -
Pick it up here, but please give us your
QR code so we can find your order quickly.
Ready to wear clothing on the racks,
Shoes in neat rows – and hopefully in your size.
Turtlenecks? On sale when you use your store credit card.
Undergarments? Yes - bras and panties galore!
Vests? Upstairs in the suit department.
Winter coats? Good luck sorting through those…
XXL sweater? Check the rack on the back wall.
You can’t go wrong with our delightful holiday staff.
Zillions of shoppers will agree! (Probably)
