Maceed on Dec. 24th

I work at macy's, im a temp. it's dec. 24th otherwise known as christmas eve. i work at macy's.

so this one lady comes in and asks for a return, she's one of 5 people waiting on line for me. as i process this request this other lady with a crazy eye asks me for a return as well but she doesnt have a reciept and no ticket attached, meanwhile im in the process of doing this other return, i tell the lady she cant be refunded only store credited, so she asks me for a bag, i dont think because im multitasking and the four others are impatiently waiting, she walks out with unpaid merchandise because i dont realize what's happened until she's already running toward the exit. my supervisor was on break. i didnt tell anyone. no sensors. hope i dont get fired. the woman i was helping process the return saw the whole thing, she coments on the other lady's crazy eye (i.e. sketchy sketchyness). i cursed and said 'kharma'. she agreed

this guy's with his wife, he's got a bum leg, but was working a charm that worked on me as i helped find jeans for his nephew in the women's department. it made me uncomfortable because i could tell his woman with her baby stroller and todler accompanyment was a timebomb on the verge of...: nerves, christmas, her flirtatious husband, her post-child-labor body, her husband's unaging charm.. the list goes on with my imagination. shitty. i imagine they were in love, laughed, had fun, married, have kids. now she's moody, not taking care of herself as she puts on weight taking care of the kids, and he would probably cheat on her if he doesnt already. i could be wrong..doubtful.

i finished my christmas shopping. what a relief.

this other guy tells me, "THis is the last time Im celebrating Christmas." I acknowledge his sentiment and say, "merry christmas."

merry christmas
