I can see how a comment like this would get on someone’s nerves…and maybe this viral video will be a lesson to all of you out there to just be polite and don’t say anything if you happen to encounter someone working during a holiday.

A retail worker named Colleen shared a video where she mocked customers who make comments to employees about having to work during holidays.

Her text overlay reads, “‘OMG I cannot believe you guys are open today! It’s a holiday!’ – customer who comes in to shop on said holiday.”

Here’s the thing… generally people get paid more to do holiday work, and people can ask for that time off well ahead of time.

Also, the reason stores are open is because the corporation wants to make money.

So I think everybody’s to blame in this situation. Workers want to make more money, corporations want to make money and customers want to spend money.

Ahhh… the circle of life. 😉
