What A Way to Start A Hectic Day

This is what it looked like this morning while I was getting ready for work. I grabbed my camera, ran outsite in my skivvies and snapped the picture. I made it just in time. By the time I went back inside and upstairs, it was mostly gone. It was breathtaking. What a way to start the day. I work in a grocery store as a cashier and this time of year is very hectic. We are soooo busy. Our store gets completely packed with shoppers. We are the lowest priced store in our area. No, we are not WalMart. We are always busy, but during the holidays, it is chaos. And let me tell you, customers that shop when it is this busy get very cranky! I had a man ask me yesterday..."what, were you closed yesterday or something? Why are you so busy?" And he was angry about it. I tried to explain to him that we are only a couple days away from Thanksgiving and he grumbled away. I don't understand why people can't just slow down and relax. There's nothing you can do about it. If you want to go grocery shopping three days before a holiday, be prepared for a large crowd. If you don't like it, STAY HOME!! Otherwise, just go with the flow. And be thankful that you have the means to put food on your table. And that you live in a country that has nice grocery stores to shop in. Trust me, I've been to Honduras and seen their grocery stores. Be thankful. Be very, very thankful!
