This year, at the age of 67, for the very first time, I am working retail on Black Friday.
My former boss Ceecee and current coworker Rose tell me it's nothing to worry about because we have no special Black Friday sales.
My regular shift manager Jen tells me it's important and stressful because shoppers who come in on Black Friday are very serious about their holiday decor, cards and wrapping, so I'd better be ready.
Our new, part-time store manager Katie gave me the shift as a favor -- she is trying to give me as many hours as she can now because come January I'll be down to one day/week. But despite her good intentions, I'm annoyed. I took this job because I expected no stress!
I will be happy when it's November 30 and I'm looking back on this.
