Quote of the Day: Retail
From tomorrow's strip. (Yes, tomorrow's. The magic of the internet!):
district manager: How were your sales over the weekend?
Marla: We barely made plan. It was chaos in here as usual, but sales were soft overall.
district manager: How can that be? We were open on Thanksgiving.
Marla: All that did was spread the shopping out over an extra day.
district manager: Hmm... What do you think would happen if we started a Black Wednesday tradition?
Marla: In a perfect world, an angry revolt... In reality, probably nothing.
p.s. This is my first Christmas season in a loooong time that I'm not working in a store. Let me tell you: I do NOT miss it.
