14. The Sales...

You enjoy sale time because you know that it's going to be busy and you enjoy being kept on your toes but when it's your turn to tidy the shop floor.. no thank you, please. You spend the majority of your time on the floor picking things up and it's always the longest hour of your life. People go crazy during the sales and this is when you discover everyone's true colours; both the public and your colleagues. You'll find out which of your colleagues are lazy and will hide from the managers, then take the glory for all of the work that they haven't done and you'll understand how violent customers can become for the sake of a bargain.
