I've have to rant for a moment.......
Sometimes the owners of retail establishments have no clue. During the Holiday season, many places have extended hours. This particular mall that our shop resides in, opened this morning at 8 am. Keep in mind that we are in po-dunk middle of nowhere. The only people that have been here in the last hour are employees of the shops. The amount of electricity used, payroll of employees, not to mention the physical waste of time doesn't equate to generating any profits. At times, the money greedy corporations don't have a clue as to how to properly manage a business for peak productivity. They just don't understand the concept that to spend $4000 in electricity and payroll of roughly 200 persons to generate $400 in food court income for breakfast is not a wise business decision. It is the ludicrous quest for the almighty dollar that shows the true greed of capitalist retail America and the degredation of the true meaning of Christmas. The place should have sayed closed until a more reasonable hour.
OK, now that I have that out of my system, at least I can phart around on the board for a couple of hours.
I would have a much brighter outlook of the day if I could have been inspecting the insides of my eyelids for another couple of hours.

...........I never could enjoy it when I had to be there to "serve the people" and work all those crazy hours while everyone else was off and having fun (or sleeping in). Now I know why I hated the retail business. Thank God I am not part of it anymore.
