I locked the doors, nearly catching the heels of the last customer as they left the store. It took everything I had to not slump against said doors.
Finally. Finally I was free of the chaos that had been Black Friday.
Honestly, if I never saw another cart or another price tag or another Customer for the rest of the year....I would be totally content.
I knew that wouldn't be the case. After all, this was retail, and we were open again tomorrow.
But at least for now, I was free. Free of the bickering of the whining, of the screaming. Free of having to run all around the store to ensure that when we said we were out of an item, we actually were out of the item.
Really, all I wanted to do right now was curl up on the breakroom couch and sleep.
But I couldn't. I still needed to recover the store from the tornado of customers that had visited us today.
But at least....this Black Friday was finally over. That I could at least be grateful for.
