When you work in retail you know what stress is. This time of year it is ramped up more due to people having to deal with their daily lives and also having to shop for presents.
People just add to the stress by putting things off to the last minute and they let things go until it is always and emergency. A little planning would go along way. Take a breath, sit back and look at the next few days and take things in stride.
So you forgot to stop and get this item or that item but do not take it out on the store employees. They have a job to do also, but you are the one in a hurry. You forgot to get the prescription filled and come to find out it is out of refills and it would be tomorrow before you can get it filled. Oh no, what I am going to do without my medicine I take for my nerves. Again, things will work out.
But I depend on this medicine to get me through the day.
What did we do as a society before we had all of these medications? We were probably a lot happier. So many people today rely on antidepressants and pain medications you wonder how do they function.
So the next time you are buying groceries or your prescription, take time out to thank the person helping you because they also have to deal with stress.
