Nov 27, 2009 0:24:47 It's probably too late for everyone else, but seeing as how there's one hours and forty minutes left today, I figure "better late than never".

I'm currently thankful for my family, who was able to visit and keep me off of the computer for the day.

You don't have to tell me twice. I work in retail and today was my least favorite day of the year.

If you want to have your faith in humanity torn from the very depths of your soul, your trust in the common sense in others burned painstakingly from your heart, and your assuredness that truly people can't be that stupid purged from your mind, work in retail. Your image of your fellow man will plummit as you see the worst come out in just about everyone.

... And you will either laugh at it, or cry. I choose to laugh. :P

In any case, Thanksgiving in my family is when we all come to my grandpa's house (which I'm currently living in) and spend time catching up. There isn't much "I give thanks for" or whatever, just us socializing and having fun.

Oh, and we had marinated roast beef this year. lol

Now, are you referring to the merchants, customers, or both ?

Something tells me you have some storytime gold there. Do tell!

This Thanksgiving I was thankful for my family and all the past Thanksgivings where I happily engorged on massive amounts of food, as this Thanksgiving I am in Tokyo, and thus thousands of miles away from my family, and the only food I engorged myself on was from the local convienience store...

Narukagami - It would take its own thread, a bad day without the family here to cheer me up, and a box of cheesy, heavily topped bliss oft referred to as pizza for me to convey the depths of sorrow the retail industry has brought my inner optimist as well as the events leading up to this laughable tragedy.
Said tragedy has been two and a half years in the making, though I must confess my faith in mankind died within six months of my actually having a job.

However, I may try to write it anyway. Keep in mind that some humor might require retail experience to be fully appreciated. I do have a wealth of customer and sales-newbie face-palm moments to recount, so maybe I'll start with those.
