I have now finished my Christmas shopping officially, as I picked up the last thing I needed. All I need to do now is wrap and make tags, and my special cards...
I was knackered and by ten pm I went to bed. I went out like a light and only woke when the alarm went off this morning.
I was in petrol for the first hour and finally, I was given a proper high viz coat, I've ordered one on and off for 12 months, each time I went in to find it has been "acquired" by someone else...
Today, Louise gave me a new one! I shall wear it on my way to and from work too while it's dark.
A lovely thing happened while I was on the checkouts, one of my regular customers came to my till and we had the usual chat, she wanted to pay for her flowers separately, and when she had, she handed me them with the receipt and the flowers saying they were me because I was always so patient and nice to her. Tears came to my eyes as I thanked her, how lovely to be appreciated like that. It makes up all the horrible " covidiots" customers and those that think you are beneath them. I was touched. Bless her. I always make time for my older customers as I know that especially now cashiers and other shop floor workers are probably the only people they see or talk to all day, perhaps all week. But to be thanked for it like that is humbling. I just hope that if I'm still here at that age, someone is like that for me, but I doubt it, the next generation won't have time or respect for anyone, they don't have now so by that time they'll have spawned a lot more selfish, entitled, over-indulged kids.
