when you shop....and please DO shop


pick up after yourself.
Goldie gets this and so do I.
These frenzied few days before the holidays, I am working at a store..
specifically in the entertainment section.
Amazing what people do -
even with me right there
straightening,
filling,
organizing,
picking up,
putting down.
So do a few harried retailers a favor -
if you pick it up...
decide against it...
treat yourself to a bit of exercise and
walk back to where you found it up and
put it back.

You do not even have to put it back precisely as you found it
(although that would sincerely be appreciated) ...
just in the general vicinity.
If you are looking for ways
to be generous this holiday,
this is an easy one.

we thank you

Goldie...
do I
hear an
Amen????

You get an AMEN and a HELL YEAH!

The worst is this convo (which we hear. Too often.)

Person A (throwing product around/on other shelves/on floor)

Person B: Don't do that.

Person A: Oh. It's their job to pick this up.

That's why I shake the shit out of person A.
