This time of year, I'm peeved by rude and inconsiderate people. The malls seem to be attracting them! Individuals are stressed, trying to prepare for out-of-town guests, buying the "right" present, but in the meantime, they seem to forget that there are other people in the world. Please be kind next time you are in a situation with hundreds of people cramped in small spaces. Say "sorry" if you hit them with your bag accidentally. You can be even proactive and smile at passers-by.
My other pet peeve is poor customer service. Talk about rude and inconsiderate folks! They are actually paid to smile and be nice, but it seems beyond some of these people. If you hate your job, then find another one that you can at least enjoy enough to be nice. Frowning to customers, complaining to customers about your long shift...I really don't want to hear about it. I can guarantee I have a longer work shift than you do (try 24/7...I'm a mom), so I just do not care that you've been working "early" since 9am, and have to close that night because you're working a double shift. Don't volunteer for the double shift. If you need the money, then don't take it out on the customers.
